BREAD PUDDING AT IT'S FINEST

THIS is the ultimate Bread Pudding!

I will bet you it's better than any bread pudding you will

even find in New Orleans...seriously!

ESTELLE'S BREAD PUDDING

2 cups milk

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 t. salt

2 large eggs

1 t. vanilla

4-5 slices of a good Brioche or French bread

1/4 cup melted butter

freshly grated nutmeg

Butter an 8x8- inch baking dish. Cut Brioche into thick slices or you may

cube the bread if preferred.

Place bread slices or cubes in the baking dish.

Mix together the milk, eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla.

Then blend in the melted butter.

Pour this liquid mixture over the bread and let it soak the slices.

Put the baking dish inside a larger dish with a 1 inch water bath.

Bake at 350 degrees F. for 45 minutes.

This recipe is just divine....I have made it for over forty years
and I have really never found one easier or better!
This makes it's own custard sauce and the true secret is
using a good Brioche or French bread along with grated nutmeg!
Now, you know my secret and believe me....
my sister and I are bread pudding connoisseurs!!!!
