Bread Pudding

So one day I had three maraquetas (Chilean bread) lying around the house and they were starting to get stale. I knew I wasn't going to eat it as toast or anything but I wasn't about the throw it all away so I decided to make bread pudding.


I cut up the bread into smaller pieces and put them in a 9 X 9 in baking dish.  I chopped up about a 1/2  cup of walnuts and sliced about a cup of cherries (it's cherry season i.e. 3 kilos for a mil which is about $2).

In a small pan I took 1 tsp of nutmeg, 1 tbsp of cinnamon, 1 tbsp vanilla extract, a stick of butter, 1/2 a cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of milk, 1 egg, and a cup of cream and let the mixture simmer.

Pour the sauce over the bread. Make sure it doesn't overflow!!! Put the pudding in a 350 degree oven and bake for about 20-35 minutes. It will be done when you no longer see any of the liquid. Make sure it doesn't burn!!
