Recipe Introduction


A delicious "comfort food" that even the most inexperienced baker can make.





List of Ingredients



• 1 large loaf day-old French bread, torn into pieces
  
• 3 1/2 cups milk
  
• 1/2 cup strong, brewed coffee (use 1 1/2 T per serving)
  
• 6 eggs
  
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
  
• 1 T pure vanilla
  
• 8 oz semisweet chocolate
  
• 1 stick butter
  






Instructions



1. Put bread pieces into a large mixing bowl. Heat milk and coffee in a large glass measuring cup in microwave until bubbles form around the edges. Pour over bread. Allow to soak 1 hour.
   
2. Prheat oven to 350 degrees. After bread is soaked, beat eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is thick and light yellow. Add vanilla. Melt together chocolate and butter in a heavy pan. (Or on medium power in the microwave - do not overheat.) Whisk together into a smooth, shiny mixture. Whisk into egg mixture. Pour over bread. Stir just to mix together. Pour mixture into well-greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish.
   
3. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until puffed.
