Serves:: 12

ingredients

¹⁄₄ lb dried tart cherry
12 ounces Italian bread
6 cups low-fat milk (1%)
³⁄₄ cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 ¹⁄₂ cups egg substitute
confectioners' sugar (to garnish)

directions

In 2-quart saucepan over high heat, heat dried cherries and 3/4 cup water to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 10 minutes or until cherries are tender.
Meanwhile, grease shallow 3-quart casserole. Cut bread into 1-inch-thick slices.
In very large bowl, with wire whisk or fork, mix milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, egg whites, and eggs until well blended. Drain cherries, adding any liquid to egg mixture. Set cherries aside. Add bread slices to egg mixture; let soak 10 minutes, carefully turning slices occasionally for even soaking.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange enough bread slices in bottom of casserole, in one layer, pushing slices together, to cover bottom. Sprinkle all but 1/4 cup cherries over bread in casserole. Arrange remaining bread, overlapping slices to fit, on top. Pour any egg mixture remaining in bowl over bread in casserole.
Bake bread pudding 1 hour and 30 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean, covering loosely with foil during last 10 to 15 minutes of baking if top of pudding begins to brown too quickly. Top with remaining cherries. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar if you like. Serve warm. Or, refrigerate to serve cold later.

Been craving bread pudding lately so when I saw this decided to give it a try. I scaled this down to four servings and prepared it in a small casserole dish. The smaller dish did not lend itself to whole slices of bread so I used 1 inch cubes and layered them as presented in the recipe. This was pure comfort; not to sweet but flavorful; a wonderful combination of textures with the soft creaminess of the center in contrast to the crispy exterior. Thanks!

I also did not layer it. It turned out great. Thanks for the excellant recipe.

This is excellent! I couldn't really layer it as ask because I made a 1/2 recipe in two seperate dishes that were very small. It ended up being all mixed together. I used Splenda brown sugar, skim milk and egg whites. Simply yummy!

First, I'd like thank everyone who reviews my recipes. I can't thank each of you personally although I try. I Live in central Virginia, 5 miles from where I grew up, w/ my Husband of 17 years and my beautiful daughter. She is 10 and is the joy of my life. We waited for a long time to be blessed with a child and it is the best thing I've ever done. Be a mother. I love to cook. We eat very healthy, after a life altering experience at 31 I've been on a journey to be healthy and lose weight.  I've lost 50 lbs and have kept most all of it off for the last 9 years. There are always fluxs, durring stressful times, but I've mananged to keep most of the weight off.  My best advice to anyone trying to lose weight is to remember that it didn't get there overnight and it won't come off overnight. I've never said I was on a diet. It is a lifestyle. When Zaar first changed to Food I took a short hiatus. I was going thru a very hard time in life and was completely unmotivated to do anything and thus gave up my hosting duties on Holiday Tag.  But now with a new perspective I'm hoping to get back to cooking and tagging.
