Rhubarb bread pudding has all of the comfort of classic bread pudding with a tart rhubarb twist. You can use fresh or frozen rhubarb and your favorite bread to make this delicious dessert.
Preheat oven to 350℉ and grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
Cut 8 slices bread into 1 inch cubes. Put in prepared pan with sliced 1 pound rhubarb. Toss to mix.
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the 1½ cups milk, 5 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon until combined. Pour over bread and rhubarb.
Let soak for 15 minutes. Gently stir if needed to make sure all of the bread has soaked up some custard mixture.
Sprinkle ½ cup light brown sugar over the top and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the center is set.
Cool 15 minutes before serving. Can be served warm or at room temperature. Store leftover covered in the refrigerator.
Notes
1 pound of rhubarb is 3-3½ cups of sliced rhubarb.
If using frozen rhubarb, measure the rhubarb while still frozen. Thaw completely, then drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.
