Don Asam, general manager at Ruth’s Chris Steak House Restaurant Row, is a Hawaii Hospitality industry veteran. Born and raised on Oahu, Don has held management positions at Roberts Hawaii and Hawaii Prince Hotel.<\/p>\n

Don and the Ruth’s Chris Steak House Hawaii team welcome you to celebrate Easter Sunday New Orleans-style. Steaks are served sizzling on 500-degree plates after being broiled in 1,800-degree ovens designed by Ruth herself.<\/p>\n

And while steak is king, guests also can enjoy fresh island fish specialties.<\/p>\n

For more information, call Ruth’s Chris Steak House in Restaurant Row at 599-3860, and Waikiki Beach Walk at 440-7910. Ruth’s Chris would like to share its signature New Orleans Bread Pudding recipe with MidWeek <\/I>readers. It’s a guest favorite for dessert!<\/p>\n

Bread pudding dates back to the 11th century. It was devised as a way to use leftover or stale bread, but now is a wonderful comfort food that has a plethora of ingredients that vary with the seasons or specific tastes. It is basically bread with a custard sauce of eggs, sugar, butter and milk poured over it.<\/p>\n

Bread pudding can be made with croissant, Danish, sweet bread or just about any variety of bread. Ingredients that can be added include, but are not<\/p>\n

limited to, liquors, fruit, chocolate pieces, nuts or sundae sauces. Try your own add-ins and be creative!<\/p>\n

RUTH’S BREAD PUDDING<\/B><\/p>\n

* 2 8-ounce loaves French bread<\/B>, cut into 1\/2-inch cubes, toasted
\n* 1 quart milk <\/B>(may use 2 percent)
\n* 1 quart half-and-half <\/B>
\n* 12 eggs<\/B>, beaten (may use egg substitute<\/B>)
\n* 2 1\/2 cups sugar <\/B>
\n* 1 cup light brown sugar <\/B>
\n* 2 sticks sweet butter <\/B>(may use less)
\n* 1 cup raisins <\/B>
\n* 1 apple<\/B>, peeled, cored and cut into 1\/2-inch dice
\n* 1 tablespoon cinnamon <\/B>
\n* 1\/4 teaspoon nutmeg <\/B>
\n* pinch salt <\/B>
\n* 2 tablespoons vanilla extract <\/B>
\n* 2 tablespoons bourbon <\/B><\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.<\/p>\n

Combine sugars and divide in half. Add cinnamon, eggs, vanilla, bourbon and salt to half of the sugar. In a saucepan, combine milk, half-and-half and butter with the rest of the sugar and bring to a boil. Whisk milk mixture into egg mixture, add raisins and apples. Add bread cubes and let stand until soaked through to center. Stir in a few raisins from the bottom and sprinkle a few on top. Pour into buttered baking dish (10-by-13-by-3 inches) and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla frozen yogurt. Makes 12 hearty portions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
