Notes

  1. Make sure that you pour the warm cream mixture very slowly into the egg yolks.  This is call tempering and will keep the eggs from becoming a scrambled egg texture.  
  2. If this is your first time tempering, you can pass the mixture through a fine mesh strainer when you are done cooking it to get out any lumps! 
  3. Add a pinch of cinnamon to the mixture for a warm fall flavor. 
  4. Buy your almonds pre-sliced!  No one wants to chop up almonds! 
  5. Save some white chocolate chips to put on top before baking. 
  6. Don't skip the 30-minute cool down before eating!  This allows the bread pudding to set.  That way, when you cut into it you will get a solid piece rather than individual bread chunks.  It's good either way though!
