Bread (And Cookie) Pudding - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 pt. half and half coffee cream
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
dry bread, cookies or cake; cubed (3 to 4 c.)

Preparation

Beat eggs gently (don't overbeat).
Add sugar, salt, nutmeg and vanilla; blend.
Add cubed bread, cookies or cake; stir. Place saucer on pudding for few minutes so dry ingredients don't float and soak up liquid.
Cook in top of double boiler with water barely simmering; cook until table knife stuck in center comes out clean.
Serve with scoop of ice cream for each serving.
