16 cups French bread, cubed 1 cup pecan pieces 1/3 cup melted butter 4 cups sugar 4 cups milk 8 eggs 2 Tbsp vanilla 3 Tbsp cinnamon 2 Tbsp nutmeg Lightly toast the cubed bread. Place toasted cubes in a lightly greased 9- by 13-inch pan. Sprinkle top of bread with pecan pieces and melted butter. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine sugar, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly. Add milk and mix thoroughly. Pour mixture over bread cubes. Press down with palms of hands until mixture covers the bread completely. Bake in a 350°F. oven for half an hour. Rotate pan and bake half an hour longer. Turn off the oven and leave bread pudding in the oven until cold. Serve with a warm rum sauce or whipped cream. It's also delicious plain, served warm or cold. Makes 12 servings.
