Bread Pudding

Try this - that's an order.  You will never look at day-old bread in the same disparaging fashion.  It is beautiful, delicious and terrific.

12 servings (or 6, if you're us)
8 calculated points


Reisling or Gewurtztraminer


Ingredients

  • 6 slices day-old bread
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • ½ cup raisins (optional)
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups milk
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Break bread into small pieces into an 8 inch square baking pan. Drizzle melted butter or margarine over bread. If desired, sprinkle with raisins.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Beat until well mixed. Pour over bread, and lightly push down with a fork until bread is covered and soaking up the egg mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly tapped.
