Notes: This is a dish my husband introduced to me. He doesn't care for "Bread Pudding" but this "Bread Pudding Custard" is his favorite. Originally, there was no written recipe as this was a treat made with however much of the ingredients were on hand because during the depression, having "extra" bread, sugar, eggs or milk, was rare.
The opportunity to create a duplicatable recipe came about when a co-worker and friend of my husband was getting married and in lieu of gifts, the couple asked each guest to bring and submit their favorite recipe(s) to their "potluck" reception.
My husband thoroughly enjoyed all the attempts it took to tweak this "just eye-ball it" family favorite into a "made just for his taste buds" recipe that we could share.
So for the past 25 years, this recipe has brought a smile to his face and warm memories to his heart. We hope it does the same for your family as well.
Although it's listed as a dessert, he has been known to enjoy it for breakfast.
(Oh, and to celebrate their first anniversary, that couple sent each of their guests a copy of the "Wedding Cookbook" they had lovingly printed.)
