Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Today, I wanted to make something new from something old. I'm not talking about taking old jeans and making a skirt out of them. I'm talking about Bread Pudding.

You need day old bread. Preferably not moldy.
I used the Challah/Eggbread that I made more than one day ago.





Into the baby oven.
Think Green - use less energy.

The bread was thick so we did not have any Soggy Messes.



Yeah. That's what I'm talking about.

Recipe for Bread Pudding   Printer Friendly Version
6 slices day-old bread 
2 tablespoons butter melted 

1/2 cup raisins (optional) 

4 eggs beaten 

2 cups milk 

3/4 cup white sugar 

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
 

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.
