Harrahs Bread Pudding Recipe 55

Steps:

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

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease the bottom and sides of a 13- by 9-inch glass baking dish with butter. Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and spread them evenly in the pan. Sprinkle with the raisins. Mix together the cream, half-and-half, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, eggs and salt in an electric mixer on low speed until smooth, 2 minutes. Pour over the bread and raisins, pressing down on the bread cubes so the custard covers them. Fill the bottom of a large pan with water to come up half an inch on the sides. Place the bread pudding pan inside the larger pan and bake until the pudding is browned on top and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, 1 hour, 15 minutes. Remove the pudding dish from the larger pan and let it cool 5 minutes. Cut into pieces and serve. This recipe yields 12 servings.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm milk, butter, vanilla, sugar and salt. Continue cooking just until butter melts; cool. Meanwhile, butter a 4-to-6-cup baking dish and fill it with cubed bread.
• Add eggs to cooled milk mixture and whisk; pour mixture over bread. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until custard is set but still a little wobbly and edges of bread have browned. Serve warm or at room temperature.
