Bread pudding

From the New York Times

Note: There’s plenty of room for customization here: consider adding fresh or dried fruit or a combination of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cardamom.

Ingredients

• 2 c milk
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 0.33 c sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 0.5 loaf sweet egg bread, cut into 2-inch cubes (about 5-6 c)
• 2 eggs, beaten

Method

1. Heat oven to 350F. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm milk, butter, vanilla, sugar, and salt. Continue cooking just until butter melts; allow to cool. Meanwhile, butter a 4-6-c baking dish and fill it with cubed bread.

2. Add eggs to cooled milk mixture and whisk; pour mixture over bread and wait for the mixture to thoroughly soak into the bread.

3. Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until custard is set but still a little wobbly and the edges of the bread have browned. Serve warm or at room temperature.
