White Chocolate~Cranberry Bread Pudding

Hey, I saw that ! You wrinkled your nose when you read bread pudding ! This however is not your grandmother's bread pudding. Trust Me ! I had friends coming over for coffee yesterday, and I wanted to bake something for our breakfast. My go to dish is pancakes, ( they love my pancakes), but there was no electricity yesterday ( yes you read that correctly, the drawback of living on an island...whole other story ), so I could not use my griddle. Now luck would have it that the gods in my pantry provided me with all the ingredients to make this lovely dish. The only thing I added to the original recipe, was the grated orange zest. Orange and cranberries just go really well together,the perfect combo. This got rave reviews from the ladies, and was a sweet start to our day. I hope you give it a try !








16 slices bread, crusts removed, cubed
1 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup white chocolate chips
6 eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups  milk
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground Ground Cinnamon

grated peel of one orange ( my addition)


In a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish, layer half of the bread
cubes, cranberries, vanilla chips. Repeat layers.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, 3/4 cup sugar, vanilla,
cinnamon  until blended; pour over bread mixture.
 Let stand for 15-30 minutes.

 Bake, uncovered, at 180 for 55-65

minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cover loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes if top browns too
quickly.



Sprinkle with icing sugar before serving
