Ingredients
  

  • 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

Equipment

  • microwave-safe bowl
  • mixing bowl

Directions
 

  1. Melt the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth, then stir in the half-and-half and set it aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, milk, egg, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the chocolate mixture, add the bread cubes, and toss to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes.
  3. Split the mixture between two greased 2-cup souffle dishes. Bake at 350° for 30–35 minutes, until a knife pushed into the center comes out clean.
  4. If you like, dust with confectioners’ sugar and add whipped cream on top.
