Raspberry Challah Bread Pudding

Whenever you add a sweet~eggy~creamy~cinnamony mixture to bread, the result can only be fabulous. And that sums up this bread pudding.  Using leftover challah bread (or feel free to substitute with a similar bread~brioche or Hawaiian would work well), this dish comes together quite easily and tastes so delicious.  The cinnamon and nutmeg go beautifully with the raspberries and has just the right amount of sweet~tart.  It’s comfort food that would be great any time of year, but especially in the colder months~which, if you live in Michigan, could be year~round.

The very best time to eat this is the day after, as the flavors have had time to meld together.  It’s great right out of the oven, but, as with many dishes, the day after will give you the best flavor.

Sláinte!

Recipe Notes

*You can also use an oblong oven~safe dish, but will need to decrease cooking time.  Watch for it to puff up and turn golden brown, and set in the middle.
