"This is another Eagle Brand Recipe. Well, I added some walnuts to the pudding and an orange sauce to finish with; but this is another fantastic recipe easy recipe worth sharing. And, it is so easy to make. I find it best to use day old bread; a fresh bread does not work as well. You can also, buy a fresh loaf and simply leave it out on the counter for a few hours which also works."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Bread ... Grease a 9x9 baking dish, or square pan (I prefer glass), with the teaspoon of butter; then add the bread cubes. As I said, I like to use day old bread, or leave it out on the counter to dry a bit. I think it just works better.

Step 2

Pudding ... Add the eggs, eagle brand, orange zest, vanilla, cinnamon, melted butter, water, and grand marnier to a large bowl and mix well.

Step 3

Casserole ... Add the raising and walnuts to the bread crumbs and pour the pudding mixture over the top. Let it rest, 30 minutes before baking.

Step 4

Bake ... Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and bake the casserole uncovered on the middle shelf for 40-45 minutes. Insert a knife into the center and if comes out clean, it is done. Make sure to let it rest at least 10 minutes before serving.

Step 5

Sauce ... As the pudding cools down, make the sauce. Add the orange juice, grand marnier, sugar, cinnamon stick, and corn starch to a small pot and bring to a light boil. Reduce to medium low until the sauce has thickened; it only takes a few minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick.
