2 ounces semisweet chocolate
1/2 cup half and half cream
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup 2% milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 slices day-old bread, crusts removed, cut into cubes (about 3 cups)
Optional toppings: Confectioners' sugar and whipped cream
Directions:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate until smooth. Stir in the cream, and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, milk, egg, vanilla and salt. Stir in the chocolate mixture, then add the bread cubes and toss gently to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes to let the chocolate sauce soak into the bread.
Spoon the mixture into two greased 2-cup souffle dishes, and bake at 350°F until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
If you want to add a flourish to this already delicious chocolate bread pudding, dust with confectioners' sugar and dollop with whipped cream just before serving.
