Magda's Cherry Bread Pudding

Ingredients 

  • 1 loaf day old sourdough bread, cubed
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 14 ounces evaporated skim milk
  • 1 1/2 cups milk, 1% lowfat
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla(or use homemade vanilla extract!)
  • 1 can sweet cherries in syrup (or fresh cherries)
  • 1/4 cup butter, unsalted, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use day old bread or, if the bread is fresh, slice and put into the preheating oven to dry out a bit. Then cut into cubes.
  • Mix together the eggs and sugar, add evaporated milk, milk and vanilla. Mix until combined.
  • Add bread cubes and push into the liquid until all bread is immersed. Add cherries and the syrup from the can. Mix thoroughly. Let sit for a few minutes to allow the bread to soak up the liquid.
  • Add melted butter and mix. Pour into a greased casserole dish.
  • Bake for one hour or until a toothpick inserted into the pudding comes out clean. Let sit 15 minutes before serving.
