Bread Pudding

Sounds kinda gross right? Doesn't really look that great either but really if you haven't tried it...
YOU NEED TO IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!

It's so good and rich and it's an excuse for a ton of sugar in fancy french toast. Which makes it ok to eat it for breakfast right? Too late.

It's like nutmeg-y cinnamon-y it's just like happiness in your mouth. It feels like the holidays.

So I used this 3/4 eaten loaf of leftover french baguette. It just needed to be used used and it was stale so it couldn't be eaten! And so I made bread pudding. Yummm. Plus It's crazy easy to make!

It just looked so lonely!

 Bread is reaalllly hard to cut when its stale :(

 Before...

 AFTER!!! Yay ready to be eaten!

SOOO YUMMY!!!

Recipe

Oven Preheated: 325 degrees

3/4 to 1 Loaf of French Bread
1/2 cup (1 stick) Butter
1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts or Pecans
1 cup Half-and-Half
1 1/4 cup Milk
3 Eggs
1 cup Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon

1. Preheat oven. Chop up bread into one inch cubes. Pour the bread onto a cookie sheet with wax paper on it. Sprinkle nuts on bread. Melt butter. Drizzle on bread. Toast lightly until just crispy.
2. While bread and nuts are toasting, blend together half-and-half, milk, eggs, sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Use any leftover melted butter to lightly grease a 7x11in casserole dish.
3. Pour bread and nuts into casserole dish. Pour egg mixture over bread evenly so all pieces of bread have been covered with egg. (If you use a 3/4 of a loaf of bread, you don't have to use all the egg mixture).
4. Bake for 60 minutes or until tops are golden brown and a butter knife come out clean.
5. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
