LEFTOVER WAFFLE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Lightly grease a 9x9 cake pan, or a 9" round pan, or a loaf pan. If you're using whole waffles put the first layer in the pan. For torn up waffles, toss them into the pan and try to somewhat level them out.
• In a bowl, whisk the lukewarm milk, butter, eggs, first amount of sugar and vanilla together until eggs are fully incorporated. Pour over the waffles - if you're using torn up waffles, give the whole thing a good stir. For whole waffles, pour some of the mixture over the first layer, then alternate layers of waffles and egg mix until it's all used up. Sprinkle the top of the waffle mixture with the second amount of brown sugar, then glob some jam or jelly randomly around the top.
• Bake at 350* for about 45 minutes to an hour, until the center is set and the top is starting to brown. Serve either hot or cold.

LEFTOVER BREAD BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Cut or tear bread into 2" cubes and place on a baking sheet.
• Pop them into a preheated 325 F oven for just a few minutes (keep checking them),just to barely toast them(the idea is to dry out the bread a bit so that it doesn't all turn to mush later in the pudding).
• Set the bread cubes aside to cool when they are done.
• Using a whisk, beat together eggs, milk, marmalade, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla.
• Place the bread cubes into an ungreased 8 1/2" round deep baking dish.
• Sprinkle raisins over the top, then pour the egg mixture over all.
• Bake at 325 F for 40 minutes or untila knife inserted near the center comes out clean (not gloppy) and the custard seems set.
• Cool slightly before serving and chill the leftovers.

LEFTOVER PECAN PIE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
• Spread the bread pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until toasted and golden, tossing halfway through, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
• Whisk together the evaporated milk, milk, sugar, vanilla, eggs, nutmeg and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Add the cooled bread cubes. Toss to combine and set aside until the bread soaks up most of the liquid, about 30 minutes.
• Stir the pecan pie pieces into the mixture and transfer to the prepared baking dish. Bake until the bread pudding is set and golden, 30 to 40 minutes. Let rest for a few minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
