Description

Ingredients

• 5 eggs
• 2 cups whipping cream
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup + 2 tbsp brown sugar, divided
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 8 1-inch slices firm white bread (about 10 ounces) (crusts left on)
• ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• ½ cup mini chocolate chips
• ¼ cup unsalted butter
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1¼ cups heavy whipping cream

Directions

• Butter a 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of brown sugar on top of the butter. Set aside.
• Cut the slices of bread in half and butter one side of each slice. Sprinkle on chocolate chips. Place in the prepared baking dish.
• Whisk together the eggs, cream, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla in a large bowl until thoroughly combined.
• Pour the custard over the bread. Pres down on the bread so it is covered by the liquid. Cover and let it sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the baking dish in a large pan. Add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the dish.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown. Remove the baking dish from the water bath and let it cool slightly on a wire rack.
• While the pudding is baking prepare the salted caramel sauce.
• Melt butter in a 2 quart saucepan. Whisk in sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and heavy whipping cream.
• Bring just to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes or until sauce has thickened. Let cool slightly. Serve with warm bread pudding.
