French Bread Pudding

I made this a few years ago for Christmas dinner, and I'll never forget the response from my brother in law Bill. He took a taste and it almost brought tears to his eyes, not because it was crummy, he said it reminded him of his mother's bread pudding which he hadn't had for years. (by the way he almost ate all of it by himself) So I'll share it with you just in time for this coming Christmas.
Ready for the oven

Hey, I looked everywhere, this was the closest "Bread" song I could find! Shhhh, I think the lead guitarist is actually Eric Clampton, David Gates was a "strummer")
