Bridget’s Bread Pudding for Breakfast
Leftover dinner rolls going stale? After running out of leftover pie to eat for breakfast, our family always turns leftover dinner rolls into a classic New Orleans bread pudding to keep our sweet tooths satiated throughout the holiday season. A warm chunk of bread pudding and a cup of hot tea keeps us all cozy inside on those rare chilly Louisiana days. This simple recipe from Mulate’s is a Rabun family favorite.
