Bread Pudding with Raisins

Ingredients

• 3 slices day-old white bread, cubed
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 2 cups fat-free milk
• 2 large eggs, slightly beaten, or 1/2 cup egg substitute
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 1-1/2 quart baking dish with non-stick pan spray.
2. Mix the bread cubes and raisins in the prepared dish.
3. Combine the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl; pour the mixture over the bread and raisins; stir to blend.
4. Set the filled baking dish in a shallow pan on the middle rack of the oven. Pour hot water into the shallow pan to a depth of 1 inch around the baking dish. This creates a water bath to cook the pudding slowly.
5. Bake 45 to 55 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the pudding comes out clean. Remove the pan from the water bath and serve warm or chilled.
