If you like bread pudding, french toast and the topping on apple crisp, you’ll love my Stormy Day Breakfast Bread Pudding.

While the recipe uses canned pears, feel free to use your favorite canned fruit. I’m not a fan of canned peaches, fruit cocktail or pineapple, but I think all should work well with this recipe.

My family absolutely LOVED this! It tastes way more naughty than it actually is. Fantastic recipe.

I have made a lot of unsuccessful bread puddings and this is my first really successful one. This is light, moist, crunchy and just the right amount of spice. I loved the idea of the pears, and will try other fruit in the future. Thanks for a recipe that can be a great breakfast or with vanilla ice cream a great finish to a dinner.

I prepared this last night and refrigerated it! I put the topping on before I popped it in the oven this a.m. and it was a wonderful breakfast treat! The heavenly smell got the kids out of bed, my little one even licked his plate 🙂 Everyone went their separate ways in a good mood! Thank you Karen for this delightful dish. I will make it again and again! It’s a *keeper*
