Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 6 ounces dinner rolls (approx. 3 medium rolls (brioche, white or whole wheat rolls) torn into chunks)
  • 4 large eggs
  • ⅔ cup milk (any)
  • 1½ tablespoons cacao or cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips (or chocolate chunks, any)
  • 1½ tablespoons demerara sugar
  • ⅓ cup pecans
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F/ 190 C/ gas mark 5. Lightly grease a medium size casserole dish (20/22 cm, 8/9'') and set aside.In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, cacao and brown sugar until smooth.
  • Place the bread chunks in your casserole dish, pour in the egg mixture and stir well.  Set aside for 2-3 minutes then give another stir (most of the mixture will have been absorbed). Scatter the chocolate chips over the top tucking gently in-between the bread pieces.
  • Press the pecans gently into the mixture, sprinkle the demerara sugar and drizzle the melted butter over the casserole. Bake in the centre of the oven for 30-35 minutes (until the top is crispy and the pecans are lightly browned).
  • Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
