Maple bread pudding
Chef Eric DiStefano of Coyote Cafe
Santa Fe, New Mexico

Ingredients
- 4 cups brioche, or bread of your choice, cut into 1-inch dice and left out to dry for 1 hour
- 4 eggs
- 1½ cups heavy cream
- ½ cup real maple syrup
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons vanilla
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ cup piñon nuts, toasted
- Butter to grease baking dish
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients except bread and whisk until smooth.
Add bread and put into an 8 x 8 butter-greased ceramic dish or into individual ramekins in a water bath. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes or until top begins to brown. Cover with aluminum foil and cook for another 30 minutes.
Check doneness with a fork — it should come out clean. Let rest for 10 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
