Quarantine Comfort...


CARAMEL BREAD PUDDING

Cleaning out the fridge or using up ingredients that may go to waste is a perfect time to make bread pudding.  So, comforting - so homey - old fashioned and easy...your family will thank you for taking the effort (although there really isn't any!).


~~~

3 1/2 cups cubed day old bread (I like french WITH the crust)

3 tablespoons butter
2 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup caramel sauce, divided

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a medium sized shallow
casserole with cooking spray and set aside. (One that will
fit inside a 9x13 baking pan.)

In a large bowl microwave the butter, milk, sugar, vanilla,
and salt until butter is melted, but mixture is not hot.

Whisk in the eggs.

Add in the bread cubes into the egg mixture and stir to
coat all pieces, but don't break them up. Pour into prepared
pan.

Drizzle HALF of the caramel sauce over the top.

Place in a 9x13 baking dish and pour in hot water to come
halfway up the inner casserole.

Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean - or
when you lift up a bit in the center it's not still wet looking.

Drizzle with remaining caramel sauce and dot with softened
butter. 

BEST when served warm!!
