Peaches N Cream Bread Pudding

Ingredients

4 cups bread cubes

4 Tablespoons melted butter

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1/2 cup sugar

1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon salt

10 ounces unsweetened sliced frozen peaches with juice

2 eggs, beaten

2 Tablespoons sugar

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 cup milk

Toss bread cubes with melted butter in 8 x 8-inch casserole. Leave 2-1/2 cups in bottom of pan; reserve 1-1/2 cups for topping. In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese with 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Reserve 8 nice peach slices for pinwheel decoration on top of pudding. Chop the rest of the peaches and mix with cream cheese. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/4 teaspoon almond extract, nutmeg, and milk.

Pour 2/3 of egg mixture over bread cubes in casserole; cook covered in microwave for 3 to 4 minutes. Spoon peaches and cream mixture over partly cooked egg/bread mix; arrange reserved bread cubes on top, then 8 peach slices in pinwheel fashion, and dribble rest of egg mixture over all. Cover and refrigerate for one hour or overnight. Cook at 350 degrees for 40 minutes covered, then at 400 degrees for 10 minutes uncovered. Cut into 4 portions and serve warm. Final product may be a bit mushy in middle, but NO ONE will complain!

Then go running to work off the calories!

Serves: 4 to 6 hungry people.
