BUDIN DE PAN / Bread Pudding   
  Ingredients :
    1 large loaf of bread (approximately 22 slices)
    7 eggs
    2 cups sugar
    1/8 teaspoon ground clove
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    4 cups milk
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1 cup sugar (to caramelize pan)
    ½ cup nuts cut in medium size pieces (optional)
    ½ cup raisins (optional)
    1 teaspoon lemon or orange rind (optional)

  Preparation:

Melt sugar in a medium saucepan, at low heat, until it turns golden and caramelize a tube pan. Set aside.

Place bread slices in a large bowl and cover with 6 cups of hot water, pressing bread with the hand so it gets soaked. Leave bread in water for 10 to 15 minutes.

Place bread in a colander to drain excess water. Discard water. Return to a large bowl and add hot milk with vanilla. Force mixture through a strainer. Add eggs previously mixed, sugar, clove,and cinnamon.

Pour mixture into caramelized pan and bake in preheated oven at 350 °F (180 °C) for 1:15 hours approximately.

Remove from oven and unmold. Serve.

Bread Pudding can be made with any leftover bread.
