BREAD PUDDING
I still want to try a bread pudding recipe and this one has great reviews

Cook Time:  45 min
Servings: 12

"This lightly spiced, extra-thick bread pudding is made with simple pantry items like bread, eggs, milk, and sugar. Best made with a rich egg bread or a moist white loaf."

INGREDIENTS:
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

DIRECTIONS:
1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2.  Break bread into small pieces into an 8 inch square baking pan. Drizzle melted butter or margarine over bread. If desired, sprinkle with raisins.
3.  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.
4.  Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly tapped.
