It's basically bread pudding polished up to shake off associations with waste-not-want-not. Bread pudding is a yummy thing--rather like baked french toast. I usually just smash up bread that has gone hard (a good re-use for a Tyvek shipping bag), crusts and all, and dot a bit of butter on top. It's also good with chocolate chips instead of currants. I've seen it made with brioche, which just seems over the top.

we still make it with raisins in my family and I agree it's yummy...

i made a bread pudding a few weeks ago with some leftover croissants. it was luscious! i think brioche bread pudding is an excellent idea, as opposed to throwing the brioche away.

Oh certainly! I just have a hard time imagining leftover brioche.
