Your bread pudding sounds good.
I make mine a little differently using left over biscuits.
Put about 1 tbsp. margarine in microwavable bowl.
Microwave on high a few seconds until melted.
Crumble 5-6 biscuits into bowl.
In separate bowl, cream 3 eggs, 1/3 c. brown sugar, and
1/3 c. white sugar. Add a pinch of salt and 2 ½ c. milk and 1 tsp. vanilla. Mix well and pour over crumbs.
Let soak a few minutes. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
Microwave 25 minutes at medium speed. Chill.
