Happy new year!
After the big office party on the 26th, I decided to have a quiet New Year's eve in. I celebrated by watching a lot of Parks and Rec and making tasty food. My new favorite is making bread pudding in the rice cooker.
Should you be so inclined to give it a go, here is my recipe:
Teresa’s adapted bread pudding recipe for the rice cooker
1 loaf white bread, left out to dry and then cut into squares
in a bowl:
2 eggs, beaten
1 full cup milk
1/3 cup sugar
Pinch salt
Dash vanilla (1 tsp?)
Few shakes of cinnamon (1 tsp?), sprinkle of nutmeg (1/4 tsp?)
1/3 cup raisins? (let’s be honest, no one eats it for the raisins)
4 spoonfuls of nutella (oh yeah)
whisk liquid mixture briskly with fork until well-combined.
Line steamer tray with foil and lightly butter, dump in bread cubes, pour mixture over bread and squish the bread pieces down into the liquid (if using nutella, pour mixture over half of bread cubes and then place the rest of bread in on top. This way the nutella won’t stick to the lid of the rice cooker but bake into the center of your bread pudding)
Put 1-2 cups of water into rice cooker, set steamer tray on top and put on “rice cooker” setting for about half an hour to forty five minutes, put on keep warm for another half an hour-ish to let set
Carefully remove steamer tray from rice cooker and enjoy!
Put foil over leftovers (still in tray) and refrigerate.
Ooh, now I want bread pudding. I assume you're using one of the small rice/veggie steamer units for this and a small loaf of bread. Might try this in full size unit. Not good for my diet....
