"In moments of considerable strain, I tend to take to bread-and-butter pudding. There is something about the blandness of soggy bread, the crispness of the golden outer crust and the unadulterated pleasure of a lightly set custard that makes the world seem a better place to live." -Clement Freud
This is a great recipe for using a loaf of bread or fruit that may be not perfectly fresh. Make a batch and pop extras in the freezer. To reheat, simply use a toaster, oven, or microwave.
You are not restricted to the fruit that is listed in the recipe. You can add any fresh or dried fruit that you like. The walnuts can be substituted with pecans, sunflower seeds, or even cashews. Likewise, a pinch of nutmeg really makes these even more delicious.
