#1077 - Bread Pudding

(by Shirley McNevich)

2 cups day old bread (cut into cubes)
1/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups milk

In a greased casserole dish add all of the bread cubes. In a separate bowl add eggs--beat with a fork. Add white sugar and stir--beat with the spoon. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and vanilla to the egg mixture--stir with a spoon until mixed. Add milk to the egg mixture--stir. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes--stir the bread cubes with a spoon to coat. Put the casserole dish inside of a cake pan--add enough hot water in the cake pan to come up to the halfway point on the outside of the casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until inserted knife comes out clean.
