Ingredients
softened butter
4 - 5 cups of some type of bread (preferably somewhat stale). I used ciabatta, a whole wheat croissant and leftover brownies)
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
4 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup 1/2 & 1/2
2 T. vanilla
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup caramel sauce
1/4 - 1/3 cup bourbon
Preparation
preheat oven to 350 F generously butter a 4 quart baking dish – I used a souffle dish cut bread/brownies into 1/2" pieces – place in pan whips eggs well, add milk and 1/2 & 1/2 add vanilla add bourbon mix well pour over bread pour caramel sauce over top (may need to slightly warm to have easily pourable consistency) place in oven, bake for 50 – 55 minutes remove, allow to cool as long as you can before you dig a spoon in at least 30 – 45 minutes serve warm with vanilla ice cream, maybe some dulce de leche drizzled over, because why not? enjoy!
