Blueberry Bagel Bread Pudding

Blueberry Bagel Bread Pudding

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup granulated sugar + 1 1/2 tablespoons
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 cups cubed blueberry bagels
1 1/4 cups blueberries

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter bottom and sides of an 8x8-inch baking dish.

Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; whisk in cream and 1 cup sugar, and bring mixture to a simmer. Remove pan from heat.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs and vanilla until well combined - about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in hot cream until well combined. Stir in chopped blueberry bagels and allow mixture to sit for 10 minutes.

Evenly pour bagel mixture into prepared dish, and top with blueberries; sprinkle top with additional 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar. Bake 40-45 minutes or until golden brown, bubbly, and set. Cool on a wire rack until ready to serve.
