Bread Pudding

Because we got 2 inches of snow last night I woke up wanting to make the family something warm and cozy. Bread pudding! A yummy custard layered breakfast dish. 

7 oz of buttered bread cut in half and broiled (about 10 slices)

3 eggs

3 egg yolks

2 cups of milk

1/2 cup of sugar

2 tsp vanilla extract

 Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Layer bread in deep casserole dish.

In a saucepan heat up milk and vanila to a boil. Turn off and cover to enhance the vanilla flavor. In the meantime whip your eggs and sugar together in a seperate bowl.  Add the milk mixture to the eggs. Pour mixture over your layered bread. Push down any bread that floats up.

Set casserole dish in the middle of larger pan and fill half way with water. This will help cook the custard evenly on the bottom.

Place in oven. Cook for about 35-40 minutes pushing down any bread that floats up with a spoon.

Vanilla topping

Meanwhile...in a sauce pan heat 1 cup of milk and 1 tsp vanilla to a boil then turn off and cover.

In a separate bowl beat 3 egg yolks and 1/2 cup of sugar until whitened. Add the milk mixture to the egg mixture. Return to the stovetop and heat stirring constantly until the mixture coats your spoon. Remove from heat immediately and let cool down. Stirring constantly still to prevent clumping.

When the bread pudding is done serve in a bowl with the vanilla topping drizzle over it.

Yum!!
