CHERRY CHOCOLATE CHIP BREAD
PUDDING
 
1 (21 oz.) can cherry pie filling
3 c. bread cubes (about 4 slices)
1/4 c. butter
1 tbsp. lemon juice
3/4 c. semisweet mini chocolate chips
1/2 c. sugar
1 c. skim milk
1/2 c. egg substitute and 1 whole egg or 3 eggs
1/2 tsp. rum extract

Spread pie filling in 1 1/2 quart microproof tube pan (or improvise one by setting a glass in center of 2 quart microproof casserole). Sprinkle bread cubes evenly over pie filling. Microwave butter in microproof small bowl on HIGH for 45 seconds or until melted; drizzle evenly over bread. Sprinkle with lemon juice and then chocolate chips. Combine sugar, milk, eggs and rum extract in small bowl; beat well. Pour slowly over mixture in tube pan; pressing cubes gently into milk mixture. Cover with sheet of waxed paper. Microwave on medium (50%) 17 to 19 minutes or until bread is almost set, rotating 1/4 turn every 5 minutes, or use a turntable. Let stand covered with waxed paper for 30 minutes. Serve warm, scooping onto serving dish with cherries on top. Serves 8.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
