New Orleans Style Bread Pudding - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 loaf day-old long new orleans-style thin crusted French bread, cubed (about 6 or 7 cups)
2 cups whole milk
2 (12 ounce) cans evaporated milk (not sweetened)
1/2 cup butter, melted

Preparation

Preheat oven 350 degrees (lower temperature if baking in glass pan).
Butter 10\" x 14\" baking pan.
Place bread cubes into a large mixing bowl.
Pour over cubed bread the milk and evaporated milk, letting sit about 5 minutes; mix slightly with electric mixer.
Mix together eggs, vanilla and sugar together in separate bowl. Can do this by hand.
Add egg and sugar mixture to bread mixture.
Beat all together with electric mixer. The mixture will be pretty smooth, with possibly a few small chunks. Pour into buttered pan.
Bake uncovered approximately 45 minutes to1 hour. The edges will turn slightly brown, pulling away from pan and center will be set.
