Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding

Dessert is my favorite meal of the day. Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding is one of the easiest and tastiest bread pudding recipes. Pick apart what I consider to be a dessert slightly short of perfection.

Ingredients

3 cups skim milk
1/2 cup regular, Quick or Instant Cream of Wheat Cereal
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 can (8-ounces) sliced peaches, drained and coarsely chopped
6 slices cinnamon raisin bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
Prepared whipped topping, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
In large saucepan, over medium heat, heat milk to a boil; slowly sprinkle in cereal. Cook and stir until slightly thickened, about 1-3 minutes.
Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes.
Stir in eggs, sugar, vanilla and nutmeg. Layer half the cereal mixture, chopped peaches and bread cubes in greased 2 quart round casserole. Repeat layers once.
Place casserole in a pan filled with 1 inch depth water. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until pudding is set in center. Serve warm topped with whipped topping if desired.
