I brought home about a dozen bagels on Friday, left over from an office breakfast.

I had a bagel for breakfast yesterday, and decided to freeze the rest this morning, when I had that “lightbulb” moment.

I wanted bread pudding. I had no raisins, but I had cranberry, blueberry and cinnamon-raisin bagels. Aha!

I didn’t measure any ingredients - I wish I had, since this was the very best bread pudding I’ve ever baked.

I broke up about 6 bagels in coarse pieces.

I used a can of coconut milk along with half and half. I added butter, vanilla extract, 2 eggs, brown and white sugar, and a pinch of salt. I cooked it until the mixture thickened then poured it over the bagel pieces.

I let my mixture bake for about 45 minutes.

Delish. (yeah, I like Rachel Ray)

The best bread pudding I ever had was at the Marriott in Charlotte NC–made from Krispy Kreme donuts.

It was pure delicious sin on a plate.

[One recipe for that concoction](http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_27413,00.html)  
It’s just as well there’s no Krispy Kreme too convenient to us or I’d be a dead woman (I’d die happy though).

**Jali** , your version sounds great - I’d have never thought of using bagels in bread pudding! I’d bet those would work in nearly any recipe! The coconut milk would be nice but I couldn’t use that here (food allergies) but some other custard mixture would work well enough.

Some friends served bread me and butter pudding at the weekend, made with brioche rolls instead of ordinary bread. It was nice, like intravenous butter.
