This is a great dessert that is easy on the budget. Photo courtesy of Ingredients:
1 teaspoon unsalted butter |
4 large eggs |
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg |
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract |
2 1/2 cups half-and-half |
8 slices day-old french bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 4 cups) |
1 1/2 cups dried.cherries |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 6-cup (9 1/4 by 5 1/4 by 2 3/4-inch) loaf pan with butter. Whisk the eggs, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla together in a large mixing bowl until very smooth. Add the half-and-half and mix well. Add the bread and dried cherries, and let the mixture sit for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Pour mixture into the prepared pan. Bake until the pudding is set in the center, about 55 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. To serve, cut the pudding into 1-inch thick slices. Lay each slice in the center of each serving plate. Serve with whipped cream or maple syrup.
2. I didn't include the 2 hrs the mixture sits into the prep time.
