Description

A standard bread pudding is great by itself, but this one is enhanced with the tart flavor of fresh rhubarb and nuts. Serve with a splash of cream.

Ingredients

8 slices bread without crusts, toasted and cubed
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup butter or margarine
5 eggs
1 1/4 cups white sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups diced rhubarb
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
2 Place bread cubes into prepared baking dish. Heat milk and butter in a saucepan just to the boiling point. Pour over bread cubes; let stand 15 minutes.
3 Whisk eggs, sugar, cinnamon and salt together in a medium bowl. Stir in rhubarb; pour over soaked bread, and gently stir until combined. Sprinkle walnuts over top.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until nicely browned on top, about 50 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
