 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  8      ounces        French bread baguette -- cut into 1/4 in rounds
    1/2  cup           Unsalted butter -- melted
  3      cups          Whipping cream
  1      cup           Milk
  1      tablespoon    Vanilla
  8      large         Egg yolks
         pn            Salt
  2      lg            Eggs
  8      oz            Semisweet chocolate; melted
    1/2  c             Sugar

Preheat oven to 350 F. Arrange bread slices on heavy large cookie
sheet. Brush with melted butter.  Bake until crisp, about 15
minutes.  Cool.

Heat 3 cups cream & milk in heavy saucepan over medium heat until
just warm to touch.  Whisk yolks, eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt in
medium bowl.  Gradually whisk in warm cream mixture. Place chocolate
in large bowl.  Gradually whisk in cream mixture . Whisk until well
blended. Stand bread slices on the sides in 9 in round pan with 2 in
high sides. (I had to use a bigger pan because it wouldn't fit).
Pour chocolate custard over bread. Let stand until bread softens &
absorbs some of custard, pressing bread down occasionally, about 40
minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Place cake pan in large baking pan. Add
enough water to baking pan to come halfway up sides of pudding. Bake
until knife inserted in center of pudding comes out clean, about 1
hour.  Cool slightly. Spoon into dishes. Serve with whipped cream if
desired.
