Macadamia Nut Bread Pudding
Ingredients:
- 1 cup bread, cubed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 to 3 T. white sugar
- 2 to 3 T. brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
- Orange zest
- Pinch of salt
- About 1/4 cup macadamia nuts
- Pat of butter
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use a single-serving, oven-safe dish. Mix heavy cream and egg. Add white and brown sugars, then beat. Add cinnamon and orange. Pour over bread cubes and mash it down, making sure the cream soaks into the bread. Transfer mixture into a baking dish. Add macadamia nuts to the top, evenly dispersed. Cover with aluminium foil and bake for 25 minutes. Take it out of the oven and top with a little brown sugar and a pat of butter, then return to the oven for another 4 to 5 minutes. Serve warm with crème anglaise, melted vanilla ice cream or a whiskey cream sauce.
