Bread Pudding

Do you remember the meatballs I made with Ikea sauce added in?  Well, the sauce called for heavy cream of which I used very little.  

So I followed an All Recipes recipe and made bread pudding so that I could use up the rest of the heavy cream.  I used leftover sourdough bread that Geri made and added diced up apples which Kai is somehow not too interested in anymore.

 

I had it with a "little" ice cream!  Hoo hoo!

  

 

Ingredients

• 6 slices day-old bread, torn into small pieces

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

• ½ cup raisins (Optional)

• 2 cups milk

• ¾ cup white sugar

• 4 large eggs, beaten

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. Place bread pieces into an 8-inch square baking pan. Drizzle melted butter over bread and sprinkle raisins over top.

3. Whisk milk, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla together in a medium mixing bowl until well combined.

4. Pour mixture over bread, and lightly push down with a fork until all bread is covered and soaking up the liquid.

5. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and the top springs back when lightly pressed, about 45 minutes.
