Chocolate-Walnut-Bread-Pudding

CHOCOLATE WALNUT BREAD PUDDING WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

6 cups diced Baguette or sourdough bread cubes (or any hearty bread)

1 ¼ cup semisweet chocolate pieces

1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

4 eggs, lightly beaten

3 cups milk

1 cup sugar

1 tbsp vanilla extract

8 oz jar of Fat Toad Farm Goat’s Milk Caramel Sauce 

 

Preheat oven to 350°. Generously butter a 3 quart rectangular baking dish.  Spread bread cubes in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with chocolate pieces and walnuts.

In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla. Pour evenly over bread mixture.  Mix thoroughly to coat bread pieces and press down gently with the back of a spoon.

Bake for 50 – 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. To prevent overbrowning, cover loosely with foil for the last 5 – 10 minutes.

Scoop into bowls and serve with Fat Toad Farm Goat’s Milk  Caramel Sauce.
