Breakfast Bread Pudding

from Barefoot Contessa

submitted by Cyndi  Taylor

5 extra-large whole eggs                                     1/2 tsp kosher salt

2 extra-large egg yolks                                         Brioche loaf or roles or challah bread

2 1/2 cups half and half                                        1/2 cup golden raisins, dried cherries or

1/3 cup honey                                                            sweetened dried cranberries

1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract                           maple syrup, to serve

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg yolks, half-and-half, honey, vanilla, orange zest, and salt.  Set aside

Slice the bread or rolls loaf into 1-inch thick pieces.  Lay half brioche slices flat in a 9 by 13 baking dish.  Spread the raisins on top of the brioche slices, and place the remaining slices on top.  Make sure that the raisins are between the layers of brioche or they will burn while baking.  Pour the egg mixture over the bread and allow to saok for 15 minutes, pressing down gently.

(Even easier: make the night before, refrigerate, and bake in the morning.)

Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until the pudding puffs up and the custard is set.  Remove from the oven and cool slightly before serving.
