1 1/2 cups sugar
1 stick butter or margarine

2 teaspoons nutmeg
2 teaspoon, cinnamon
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
6 eggs beaten

1/4-cup flour
3 cups half and half

Pinch salt optional



Recipe

Preheat oven 350 degrees.
Tear bread into 2 inch pieces. In a large bowl, add half and half sugar, nutmeg cinnamon, vanilla and half the butter. Add eggs and mix well, add bread and allow to sit 5 minutes. Grease a 9x12x2 inch-baking pan and add bread mixture. Dot top with remaining butter and bake for 1 hour. Let cool and serve with vanilla sauce

Vanilla sauce:
Melt butter in small saucepan. Add flour and cook on low heat for 7 to 10 minutes or until a nutty aroma develops. Do not brown or color roux. Remove from heat and let cool. In separate saucepan heat half and half with sugar and bring to a boil. Add roux and stir until thickened. Reduce heat and continue cooking an additional 15 minutes to prevent sauce from breaking. Stir constantly. Remove from heat once sauce has thickened and stir in vanilla. Strain through a fine sieve and serve.
