Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat all liquid ingredients together.
- Break up the bread and add it to the liquid mixture.
- Pour the mixture into a baking pan.
- Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the mixture. If you're looking for a richer texture, substitute whole milk for skim milk. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free bread or cornbread. Make sure to beat the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, which will help the pie rise as it bakes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Crazy Custard Pie warm or chilled, topped with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream for added sweetness. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of Dairy Queen(No Eggs Ice Cream) for a delightful contrast. For a brunch option, consider serving it alongside a fresh fruit salad or a light yogurt parfait.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place a slice in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, or warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until heated through. This will help retain the custard's creamy texture.
