Please go here to learn more about Weekend Cooking.I was a little reluctant to try this, but then I remembered that I like chocolate French bread, so thought it might be good. And it is! Light, lovely, with just that little hint of chocolate. The recipe makes a small amount, so you could double it if you want to serve a bigger crowd.
Chocolate Bread Pudding
1 cup bread crumbs
1 cup milk
1 square chocolate
1 egg, lightly beaten
a sprinkle of salt
3 Tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Mix slightly warmed milk and bread crumbs.
Melt chocolate over very low heat.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat egg, and add salt, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon.
Cool chocolate a bit and add to egg mixture.
Add egg mixture to bread and milk.
Pour into greased pan (an 8x8 would work - I used a small oval pan)
and bake in preheated 350º F. oven for about half an hour. You might stir it a few times while it's cooking.
I took the picture right as it came out of the oven, hence the misty look from the heat.
Nan, this does sound delicious. Sounds easy enough for those nights I want something just a bit sweet at the end of a meal.
ReplyDeleteWith as much cooking as I've done in my time, I don't think I've EVER made a bread pudding! This looks pretty yummy! :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks luscious and perfect for a cold winter day.
ReplyDeleteI'd never tried bread pudding, I thought it looked nasty. But the other night we went out to eat and I decided to go ahead and try it. And it was GOOD! But it wasn't chocolate. I love chocolate so will have to try this.
ReplyDeleteActually, I thought it would be harder to make, but that recipe looks rather easy.
Yum! I would add some home-made whipped cream and a nice cup of Earl Grey. Nan, I love your new header!! Fun. I love those old Saturday Evening Post magazines.
ReplyDeleteinteresting recipe. I haven't heard of using bread crumbs in a bread pudding. It looks yummy and not overly chocolate.
ReplyDeleteI love bread pudding but have never had chocolate bread pudding...YET!
ReplyDeleteI am such a sucker for chocolate!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried chocolate bread budding; thanks for the recipe Nan. (I do love chocolate):
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of bread pudding, but I bet my mom would love this!!
ReplyDeleteHey, you changed things up on your blog...so soft and pretty! Love that header...so perfect!
ReplyDeleteGreat recipes. I made your buttermilk scones last week and they were indeed wonderful!
Thanks for sharing!
Joanne
I love bread pudding, so I wouldn't be hesitant to try this one. I usually see bread pudding recipes that call for cubed bread, not bread crumbs. It makes for a nice variation.
ReplyDeleteIt was so easy and quick, Margot! It would be perfect for what you described.
ReplyDeleteAisling, there are a few other recipes under 'puddings' in the recipes tab under the blog header if you are interested.
Joy, it was.
Ellie, not nasty at all. :<) yummy!
Yvette, if I'd had whipped cream I would have used it! That is a fun cover. I bought it a while back at a retro diner place, and had it framed. I like to use it as the header this time of year. :<)
Heather, I hadn't used crumbs before either but they worked just fine.
Caite, you'll like this one, I'm quite sure.
Kay, and this has just that nice hint!
Diane, it's a nice little pudding.
Bermudaonion, I love all the different kinds!
Joanne, thanks. I thought it would be fun to try a new color. Glad you liked the scones. The recipe is from a fellow Canadian, you know. :<)
Beth, it was really so good.
Chocolate makes everything better!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge fan of bread pudding, but I do love chocolate, so this might be a wonderful treat. It sure looks divine. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds so good Nan! And we've been trying to cut back on carbs some -- this doesn't sound as heavy as the usual bread puddings. I think I'll try it. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteStaci, I love bread pudding even without it!
ReplyDeleteSuko, if you don't like bread pudding, I'm not sure even the chocolate would make you love it. :<)
Sallie, gosh if I cut out carbs, I wouldn't be eating. :<)
