Bread Pudding with Cinnamon and Cardamom

February 06, 2014

Custard soaked bread, flavored with warm spices....heavenly! Great for that bread just starting to dry out. The best comfort food ever.

Stale bread: Slices, crumbles, whatever. Doesn't matter what kind - white, wheat, cinnamon, whatever. 6 thick slices or about 1/3 - 1/2 of the dish full - less if you want a finished pudding with more custard and less bread.
8 eggs or egg yolks or whites or a combination of what you might have on hand or left over from another dish. A couple more or less isn't going to hurt things.
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cardamom
3 1/2 cups milk. Or cream. Or half and half. Or evaporated. Or whatever. Again - a bit more or less isn't going to hurt things.

Preheat oven to 350. Grease 9" casserole dish and put the bread in the bottom of the dish. In a large bowl or mixer, mix everything else together. Pour the egg mix over the bread in the baking dish. ...
