BREAD PUDDING

Bread Pudding is an old fashioned dessert that always makes it way to our table on the holidays. It’s made out of cubed bread with a sweet vanilla half and half and egg custard. You can serve bread pudding topped with a sauce, like my vanilla sauce (pictured below) or praline sauce (recipes below).
