Leftover Challah bread soaks up a rich cocoa-infused custard before being topped off with chopped chocolate and baked to delicious, almost brownie-like perfection. The only thing that would make it better is a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!

Ingredients
- 9 ounces stale challah or 9 ounces egg bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/3 cup sugar

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 tablespoons melted butter

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9” square baking pan with paper liners. Place the tin on a baking sheet.
Tear the bread into small pieces and place in a large bowl.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla and salt until well combined.
