While passing through Mobile, Alabama, we ate this delicious Bread Pudding at a famous restaurant. After my husband raved about it, he asked the waitress if she could get the recipe for him. She did and so I now make it. This is one of two Bread Puddings which I make. Both dishes are comforting yet entirely different. *NOTE* I have never used 6 bread slices with this recipe, only the loaf french bread. If you should use the sliced bread, please give us a report on this recipe. Also, in the past, I have added 2 cups of sugar with the eggs and raisins instead of the 1 1/2 cups of sugar. My sweet tooth rules, but both ways are delicious.
