Bays English Muffins Pumpkin Pudding

October 30, 2015 · by Carrie Trax ·

Bays English Muffin Pumpkin Pudding

It’s that time of year where you can find fresh pumpkins everywhere and what a great time to create some pumpkin inspired dishes.  It is easy to cook your own pumpkin in just a few easy steps.  Follow these directions and you will have fresh pumpkin for pie, muffins and more, cooking fresh pumpkin for puree.  I created this pumpkin dish by using Bays English Muffins instead of bread.  The English Muffins are the perfect texture for making this pudding.  Remember to look for Bays English Muffins in your store’s refrigerated section.  All their muffins are made to order, and leave the factory within 24 hours of baking and are shipped across the country in refrigerated trucks.

Bays English Muffin Pumpkin Pudding with Vanilla Sauce
6 Bays English MuffinsBays English MuffinBays English Muffin Pumpkin PuddingBays English Muffin Pumpkin Pudding
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh pumpkin puree or canned
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup pecans, chopped

Cut each Bays English Muffin into 9 pieces and place in large bowl, set aside.  In medium bowl beat eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla and pumpkin puree. Pour pumpkin mixture over Bays English Muffin pieces and stir in the dried cranberries, let set for 1 hour. You can also pour directly into the baking dish, cover, refrigerate and bake the next day.  Spray a 12-inch or 13×9 baking dish.  I used a pretty decorative ceramic pie plate.  Pour mixture into baking pan and place on a baking sheet and then add about 2 cups of water to the baking sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until golden brown and knife inserted comes out clean. Remove and cool for about 10 minutes if you would like to serve warm. Drizzle with the warm vanilla sauce and sprinkle with the pecans and serve.  Once cooled completely you can refrigerate to serve later or the next day.

Vanilla Sauce
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon flour
1/8 teaspoon salt

Mix everything together and bring to boil for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly. Set aside for 5 minutes, then pour on warm bread pudding

Bays English Muffins perfect for your Lunch Box!

Sandwiches with Bays English Muffins

Last month I was in Seattle for the 2015 International Food Blogger Convention where I got to network with other amazing food bloggers.  I also had the opportunity to meet many companies in the food industry.  One of the companies I had the pleasure of talking to was Bays English Muffins.  I had the chance to talk to and watch George Bay, grandson and namesake of the family run business create some amazing sandwiches with Bays English Muffins.  As I was watching George make a few sandwiches piled high with some savory ingredients I thought Bays English Muffins are not just a breakfast item but would make a great sandwich for anytime of the day.  Thanks to Bays English Muffins I went home with some free packages of English Muffins ready to create my own sandwich combinations.  The first thing I noticed when I opened the packages was how soft and fresh they felt.  Bays maintains its standard of excellence by using only Hawaiian cane sugar, Minnesota spring wheat and whole milk, Wisconsin AA butter, and potato flour.  This is why you will need to look in the refrigerated dairy case of your grocery store for them.  All their muffins are made to order, and leave the factory within 24 hours of their baking and are shipped across the country in refrigerated trucks. Check out the quick and easy sandwiches I created with my Bays English Muffins.

Cuban English Muffin SandwichCuban sandwich on Bays English muffin
1 Bays English Muffin, lightly toasted
2 thick slices ham
2 slices Swiss cheese
1 dill pickle, sliced
Yellow mustard
Butter

On the inside of each Bays English Muffin spread a thin layer of yellow mustard and top each side with a piece of Swiss cheese.  On one Bays English Muffin side place the ham and on the other side place the sliced pickles. Put the two sides together and brush the outside of each Bays English Muffin with butter.  Place on a hot flat top grill or in a hot skillet over medium heat.  Cook each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.  Remove from heat and it is ready to eat.
