Pear and Chocolate Brioche Bread Pudding 
In place of brioche, you can use a rustic white bread or challah.

Ingredients:
Unsalted butter, room temperature, for baking dish
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
7 ounces brioche, cut into eight ½-inch slices, halved diagonally
1 ½ pounds firm but ripe pears, such as Anjou or Bartlett (about 3), cored and very thinly sliced
3 large eggs, plus 3 large egg yolks
1 ½ cups whole milk
1 ¼ cups heavy cream
½ cup packed light-brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon fine salt
1 tablespoon sanding or other coarse sugar

2. In a large bowl, gently whisk together eggs and egg yolks, milk, cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour mixture evenly over bread and pears and let sit 5 minutes. Sprinkle with sanding sugar.

3. Bake until brioche is puffed and custard is just set, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
