Ingredients (serves 2-3)

1 bagel, plain and ripped into small pieces

1 egg, plus 2 additional egg yolks

½ cup chocolate, (milk or dark) shaved

1 cup milk

2 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

2-3 Tbs coffee liqueur

2 Tbs unsalted butter

Instructions:  Preheat oven to 350.  Rip one bagel into small ¼ inch pieces and set aside.  In microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate, cinnamon, salt, vanilla, coffee liqueur, and butter by microwaving for 30 seconds to 1 minute.  Mix and incorporate all flavors together.  The consistency should be “soupy” and loose.  Beat one egg and 2 additional egg yolks together.  Temper eggs by adding chocolate sauce a few tablespoons at a time, so not to cook the eggs.  Once fully combined, pour over the bagels, and be sure to mix so that each piece of bagel is fully soaked by the mixture.  Place in a small oven safe dish, sprayed with nonstick spray and bake for 30-35 minutes.  You will notice the bagel pudding will rise.  Be sure to serve quickly to get that fluffy and warming comfort with each bite!  Serve with a little vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream.
