Bread Pudding Recipe

Thanks to our Facebook fans for requesting the bread pudding recipe, one of the favorites at The Buffet. It's easy to make, and we hope you enjoy it!

Ingredients

• 1 quart half and half
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 8 slices cinnamon swirl bread
• 9" x 12" baking pan

Preparation

1. Combine all ingredients except for the bread with a whisk to make custard.
2. Place bread in a 9" x 12" pan, with each piece of bread overlapping one another in a "shingle" pattern. Cover with custard.
3. Bake in a conventional oven at *250˚ for approximately 60 minutes (there should be no liquid custard when pierced with a knife in the center). Serve warm or cold.

*Depending on your oven, cook time could vary. If the bread is not firm after 60 minutes, keep at 250˚ and check until bread is firm.

You can also top the bread pudding with the caramel sauce used for topping ice cream (as shown in the photo).
