White Chocolate Bread Pudding

I prepared a a white chocolate bread pudding many years ago but this one is so much easier and quicker.  Our cousin, Susie Graham shared her recipe with me a few weeks back and I adapted it slightly.  I promise, its delicious and so easy to prepare.

I know it will become one of the recipe’s I prepare for a crowd because I couldn’t possibly prepare for just the two of us.

I,  my friends, would most definitely eat the whole entire dish in a day or two.  Left overs, heated in the microwave are just as delicious as when first prepared.

Directions:

1.  Tear or cut bread into about 1″ cubes and put into a greased casserole dish.
2.  Wrap pecan pieces in a paper towel and roast pecan pieces in microwave for 1-2  minutes.
3.  Sprinkle the pecan pieces over the bread cubes.
4.  Whisk sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla and melted butter.
5.  Pour over the bread cubes, do not stir but press bread with clean hands until the mixture covers the top of all the bread.
6.  Sprinkle with cinnamon.
7.  Bake 350 degrees for 1 hour.
8.  Melt butter and white chocolate chips together in the microwave.
9.  Stir in remaining ingredients into the butter/chocolate mixture and heat for 2 minutes.
10.  Pour over the top of the cooked bread pudding.
11. Enjoy!

note:  you can double the topping recipe and serve with additional sauce.
