Bread Pudding
Easy recipe for a delicious dessert (Serves 6)
Ingredients
-
2 cups of milk
-
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, a bit more for greasing the pan
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
⅓ cup sugar
-
A pinch of salt
-
½ loaf sweet egg bread like challah or brioche, cut into 2-inch cubes (about 5 to 6 cups)
-
2 eggs, beaten
Preparation
-
Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm milk, butter, vanilla, sugar and salt. Continue cooking just until butter melts; cool. Meanwhile, butter a 4-to-6-cup baking dish and fill it with small chunks of bread.
-
Add eggs to cooled milk mixture and whisk; pour mixture over bread. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until custard is set but still a little wobbly and edges of bread have browned. Serve warm or at room temperature.
