BREAKFAST BREAD PUDDING (Make Ahead Recipe)

I used what I had on hand, and made it the night before. Out of the fridge and into the oven in the morning. Another easily adaptable recipe, the ingredient list is approximate. Use bread, fruit, sugar of your choice. I never make this the same way twice.

• Ready In: 1 hr 10 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 3  cups milk
• 3  eggs, beaten
• 1⁄3 cup sugar
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 5  cups  cubed  bread, this time I used frozen buns that need to be used
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons cinnamon
• 1⁄8 nutmeg
• 1  cup dried cranberries
• 2  chopped apples (optional)

Directions

1. Mix first 5 ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Sprinkle cinnamon over bread cubes, works best if using soft or semi soft bread and let the spice absord as the bread dries. Toss and add as much cinnamon as desired.
3. Grease a tin tray or glass baking dish.
4. Add bread crumbs, sprinkle with cranberries and top with egg mixture. Add another sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg over the top.
5. Mix slightly to cover all the bread, and spread evenly.
6. Cover and refridgerate overnight.
7. If using apple, sprinkle on just before baking. I also add a sprinkle of sugar on the top right before right baking.
8. Preheat oven to 350 and bake for 45 minutes or until knife comes out clean, let rest 5 minutes
9. Note: I am using my oven table top oven tomorrow morning so I will note the cooking time with that later and will post a picture.
10. Serve warm on it's own, or top with honey, maple syrup, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, well. you get the idea lol.
