    While cooling, butter a 4-6 cup baking dish. Fill with stale bread. 
    *If your bread is not stale, heat oven to 400 F and bake bread cubes on baking pan for 10 minutes until bread is dried out. 
    Add eggs to cooled milk mixture and whisk; pour mixture over bread.
    Bake for 30 to 4 minutes, or until custard is set but still a little wobbly and edges of bread have browned.
