Bread Pudding with Whiskey Cream Sauce

This is decadent and absolutely delicious, and it only took about 20 minutes of preparation time, if even that.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 tablespoons vanilla
• 2 1/2 cups milk
• 2 cups sugar
• 3 1/2 to 5 cups sourdough bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1/3 cup pecans, chopped finely

For the sauce

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 stick butter
• 1/2 cup cream
• 1/4 cup Jack Daniels (any whiskey or bourbon will probably work) 

For the bread pudding: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Beat together eggs, butter, vanilla, and milk. Add sugar and mix until sugar is dissoved. Arrange bread cubes tightly in a nine-inch baking dish, keeping the crust facing up around the edges in scattered within the dish. Pour liquid over the bread. Sprinkle pecans all over and bake for 55 to 70 minutes, or until crust is golden brown all over the top.

For the sauce: Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Stir constantly over low heat until mixture reaches a low boil. Pour a small amount over the individual servings of bread pudding.
