Bread Pudding Too Gooey? HELP!?

Question

I just made a bread pudding dessert and the instructions say to insert a knife in the middle of your baking pan and if it comes out clear it's done. Well it came out clear, so I'm assuming it's done. But is the inside suppose to be real gooey? I haven't had bread pudding in a long time and don't remember it being this gooey. Is there anyway to stiffen it up more where it's not so gooey? Thank you!

Answer 1

did you beat your eggs really well, you need the mixture to be well beaten with the milk to allow it to set, let it all soak and stand before you cook it,  

Answer 2

less gooey = less liquid more bread

hope it helps :)
