Like bread pudding? Like flan? This recipe combines them - and yes I did win a prize with it at a dessert bake-off.
First, melt half a stick of butter in a 2" deep cake pan. Then cover the butter with brown sugar. Then cover all that with shredded bread of your choice. I like Mexican Bolillos. Then mix up two eggs and a cup and a half of milk. Add a little vanilla. Pour the egg, milk, and vanilla mixture over the bread. Mash the bread down so it all gets wet. Put the cake pan inside a larger one that has water in it. Bake at 350 deg. F for an hour. Immediately after taking it out of the oven turn it over so the caramel on the botton flows over the pudding like with flan.
Enjoy.
