Cooking Instructions

Step-By-Step Cooking Information and Guidance

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 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).

 

Step 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.
