Recipe: Disney Bread Pudding (recipe corrected 4-20-05)

Hi Carolyn -
I'm happy to post this recipe, but brace yourself, it doesn't get any better calorie-wise. I know what you mean about saving up for something like this - I requested a cookie recipe here several months ago and when I got the recipe I could see why I liked it so much; it was all butter and sugar. I'm still "saving up" for it. Sometimes that's the best part of eating out - you can enjoy something without really knowing too much about it. This recipe looks good. I may have to "save up" for it, too. LOL. Here's the recipe:

BREAD PUDDING
The Polynesian, Disney

4 loaves bread, dry
4 cups half and half or milk
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 stick butter or margarine, (1/2 stick melted)
2 teaspoons nutmeg
2 teaspoons, cinnamon
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
6 eggs beaten
vanilla sauce

Preheat oven 350 degrees.

Tear bread into 2 inch pieces.

In a large bowl, add half and half sugar, nutmeg cinnamon, vanilla and half the butter. Add eggs and mix well, add bread and allow to sit 5 minutes.

Grease a 9x12x2 inch baking pan and add bread mixture. Dot top with remaining butter and bake for 1 hour.
