Therese in Taiwan: Homemade bread pudding

There was a time when I would occasionally crave for bread pudding, so when I'd see it on the menu, I'd immediately order it. Once, my friends and I went to Borough and I ordered their bread and butter pudding. Yum!

I knew from watching some cooking shows that it's easy to make, but since I'm not known to be an awesome cook/baker, I didn't know how to start. Luckily, my aunt loves to cook and she recently taught me how to make bread pudding.

The ingredients you would need are:

• leftover bread
• egg
• sugar
• milk

What you need to do are the following:

• tear the bread up into pieces (you decide how big or small they should be - it doesn't really matter) and put them in an oven container (like the one in the picture)
• crack the egg into a bowl, add the milk and sugar and then beat all the ingredients together
• pour the mixture over the bread, fully covering it in the process
• place the container into the oven and bake at around 200-250 degrees (if I'm not mistaken) for 10-15 minutes.
• if you're a fan of cheese like we are, you can also add some before putting the container into the oven 

There you have it! Enjoy the yummy goodness of bread pudding!
