How to make bread pudding pie. A leftover bread recipe.

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is dairy-free and adds a subtle flavor.

chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate

💰Cheaper: cocoa powder

Dark chocolate offers health benefits and cocoa powder is less expensive.

pecans

🥗Healthier: walnuts

💰Cheaper: almonds

Walnuts are often cheaper and provide a similar texture.

Crumb the bread instead of dicing it for a smoother texture.

Mix together the milk, orange juice, orange zest, and 4 beaten egg yolks until well combined.

Prepare the crust by mixing 4 parts flour to 1 part butter to 1 part water, adding a dash of salt.

If using 1 cup of flour, this should be enough for a large pie crust with some leftover.

Chill the dough in the fridge for a few minutes to firm it up.

Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick and place it into the pie pan.

Add the orange-flavored filling to the crust.

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes until the pudding is firm.

After baking, top the pie with a layer of cherry preserves before serving.
