"An amazing and easy to make rhubarb dessert. If possible, use only day old French bread for this, do not use the regular white sliced bread, it will not hold up as well for this recipe. This recipe is delicious!"

I made this ages ago and forgot to review!! Deelicious!! Love the flavours citrus, tart, cinnamon, I added some nutmeg and used 18%cream and 2%milk the result was a creamy, not too sweet pudding. I sprinkled some of the rhubarb on top hoping it would not sink into the mixture and it didn't!!!! I did not prepare the topping with the brown sugar. DH loved to eat bread pudding with cream or milk poured on top. I will make this again, with the topping next time!

I had got fresh rhubarb from my friends garden, so thought to make this dish. This is comfort food at it's best. I made it up in advance to take to a friends place and while we were eating dinner, I warmed it up in the oven. I served this with Recipe #390290. Delicious! Thanks Kitten for posting another winner!
