Orange, Maple and Walnut Bread Pudding

Ingredients:

8 slices Egg & Milk Loaf bread (can also use brioche), sliced into triangle halves

4 large eggs

1/3 cup maple syrup

1/2 cup sugar

1 cup half and half (1:1 milk + cream)

1/3 cup melted unsalted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon salt

zests of 1 orange

1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped

1/4 cup light brown sugar + 1 teaspoon cinnamon (to sprinkle over bread pudding before baking)

Procedure:

- Preheat oven to 350’F. Brush butter onto an oven/baking dish.

- Layer and overlap the bread slices in the buttered baking dish.

- In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, maple syrup, sugar, half and half, melted butter, vanilla, orange zests, salt and walnuts.

- Pour the egg mixture over the arranged slices of bread in the baking dish. Let the bread soak up the egg mixture, about 30 minutes.

- Mix the light brown sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle the mixture over the unbaked bread pudding. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until bread pudding is puffed-up and golden.

- Serve warm.
