1/2 c. sugar
8 tbsp. water
3 oz. diced white bread
2 eggs
2 c. milk

1. In a small saucepan dissolve the sugar in the 4 tablespoons of water. Rapidly boil until the mixture caramelizes. Cool slightly. Slowly add another 4 tablespoons of water and boil again.

2. Butter an oven proof dish and put the diced bread into it. Pour the caramel over the bread and allow to soak in.

3. Beat the eggs until light. Heat the milk and pour onto the eggs. Strain the mixture and pour over the bread. Allow to stand for 15 minutes and then bake in a 300 degree oven for about 1/2 hour or until the bread is crisp. Serves 6.
