Bruschetta offers a tasty spin on bread pudding

Fresh-baked bread slathered with chocolate hazelnut spread is awesome on its own, but add some cherries and a pinch of sea salt and instantly you have a sophisticated dessert. This bruschetta calls for a touch of liquor for an added layer of flavor but feel free to skip it if you like your sweets sans the booze.

Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
3 ounces dried cherries, if they are in season you can use fresh: substitute 1 cup pitted and halved
2 tablespoons Godiva Liquor
1 loaf fresh baked bread (eg. Ciabatta), sliced into 8 to 12 pieces
1 stick butter for spreading, at room temperature
1/4 cup Nutella
1 teaspoon sea salt
Directions:
- In a small bowl, re-hydrate the cherries in the Godiva liquor until they have plumped up. Remove and roughly chop. If you are skipping the Godiva liquor you can re-hydrate them in a little warm water. If you are using fresh cherries, just toss the pitted and halved cherries in the Godiva Liquor to lightly coat.
- Butter the slices of bread and place on a baking sheet. Place baking sheet under the broiler for 2 to 4 minutes until lightly golden brown. Remove and spread each piece with the Nutella.
- Sprinkle with the cherries and sea salt and serve immediately.
