Bread Pudding w/ Vanilla Butter Sauce

Yum! I made this today for Cesar. His favorite dessert, I think. IT turned out good.

Here is the recipe.

Bread Pudding:

6 slices of day old bread
2 tbsp butter, melted
1/2 cup raisins (optional, I didn't put it this time because I disgust raisins, but next time I'll put it in one side for Ya-Ya and Cesar)
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups milk
3/4 cup white sugar
1 tsp ground cinnnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350

Break bread into small pieces into an 8 inch square baking pan. Drizzle melted butter 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 egg mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly tapped.


The picture of the sauce does not look so appetizing but here it is along w/ the recipe.
