Station House's White Chocolate Bread Pudding
- 1 baguette, cubed (about 8 cups)
- 1 14 lbs white chocolate
- 7 eggs
- 1 pint half-and-half
- 1 quart heavy cream
- 1 14 cups Bourbon (they used Maker's Mark)
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons butter (1/2 stick)
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spread bread cubes in an 8 1/2 x 11" baking pan.
- Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler.
- Meanwhile, break eggs into a bowl and beat lightly until smooth.
- Add beaten eggs to the melted chocolate, then the half and half and heavy cream.
- Stir well over the heat until the batter thickens and is smooth and flows easily off the spatula, about 10 minute.
- Pour the chocolate mixture evenly over the bread in the pan.
- Use about half of the custard at first, letting it soak into the bread before you add the rest, in 2-3 additions, if necessary.
- Cover with foil.
- Bake for 45 minute.
- To make the bourbon sauce: Put the bourbon in a sauce pan.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat and reduce by half.
- Or, if you are braver, carefully flame the bourbon in the pan, letting it burn until the flame burns off.
- (This will take a few minutes with this much alchohol.
- ).
- Add the brown sugar and butter.
- After the butter is melted, add the condensed milk.
- Cook on low, stirring, until thickened to pouring consistency, 5 min or a bit longer.
- To serve: Cut into squares and place on serving plates.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
- Pass the bourbon sauce to pour over the top.
- Best served hot.
