Morton® Coarse Sea Salt isn't just for savory dishes. Desserts like this rich chocolate bread pudding benefit from a pinch of salt for balance and to make the other flavors pop.

Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 4 eggs
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 pound of leftover sliced bread or ½ inch sliced dinner rolls
  • 1 teaspoon of Morton® Coarse Sea Salt
  • 1 pint whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (garnish)

MORTON®
SEA SALT COARSE

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate chips over a low heat, heating only until the butter and chocolate melt.

  2. Whisk the sugar, milk, vanilla, and eggs into the chocolate mixture. Lightly coat a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  3. Arrange the bread slices in 3 layers inside of the baking dish. Pour the chocolate sauce over the bread.

  4. Set aside for 1 hour to allow the bread to absorb the sauce. (The pudding can be made to this point up to 1 day ahead. Refrigerate).

     

  5. Heat oven to 325º F. Bake uncovered 35 to 40 minutes or until set. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of Morton Coarse Sea Salt over bread pudding, and serve warm garnished with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
