This is the ultimate bread pudding dessert!
  1. Prepare Bread Puddings: Whisk together eggs and the next 8 ingredients in a large bowl until well blended. Add bread pieces, stirring to thoroughly coat. Cover with plastic wrap, and chill for 8 to 24 hours.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°. Spoonbread mixture into 11 (6-oz.) lightly greased ramekins. (Ramekins will be full, and the mixture will mound slightly.) Place on an aluminum foil-lined jelly-roll pan.
  3. Bake at 350° for 50 minutes, shielding with foil after 30 minutes.
  4. During the last 15 minutes of baking, prepare Caramel-Pecan Sauce: Heat pecans in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring often, 3 to 5 minutes or until lightly toasted and fragrant.
  5. Cook brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and pecans.
  6. Remove bread puddings from the oven; drizzle with Caramel-Pecan Sauce. Bake 5 minutes or sauce is thoroughly heating and begins to bubble.
