All the proof of a pudding is in the eating. William Camden
So, after your house-party the night before, you will be left over with quite some cheese, crackers and crostini. Now most of it can be nicely stored in the fridge and jars. But what about the bread, which is most likely a bit hard now?
The best way to use up leftover bread – bread pudding!
This is the perfect “morning after” breakfast dish, as it’s easy to make, filling and the caffeine shot is also a great cure for the hangover from last night’s party.
This is a cross between a French toast and bread pudding – whatever you would like to call it – there is crusty bread, a light custardy coating, oozing Nutella, and comforting Christmas spices!
Spread a decent amount of Nutella between slices of baguette. Chop them up into smaller bits and place in a bigger baking dish or individual ramekins.
Whisk together an egg, two shots of espresso, some vanilla, all spice, cinnamon, and some sugar. Pour this liquid over the bread and sprinkle some sugar on top. Bake for 10 minutes and serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream and fresh fruit!
