Ingredients:

• 6 slices of dinner rolls, cubed
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 6 eggs
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 cup walnuts
• 1/2 cup sugar (for sprinkling)
• 1 can cherry pie filling (approximately 21 ounces)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bread Base:

   • Slice the dinner rolls into small pieces or cubes and place them into a nine-inch cake pan.

2. Layer with Pie Filling:

   • Carefully spoon the cherry pie filling over the dinner roll pieces, ensuring each serving gets some cherries.

3. Add Walnuts and Sugar:

   • Sprinkle the walnuts evenly over the pie filling.
   • Sprinkle the second 1/2 cup of sugar over the top of the entire mixture.

4. Prepare the Egg Mixture:

   • In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, first 1/2 cup of sugar, heavy whipping cream, and nutmeg until well combined.

5. Combine and Refrigerate:

   • Melt the butter and pour it evenly over the cherry layer.
   • Pour the beaten egg mixture over the entire pan.
   • Allow the assembled pudding to sit in the refrigerator for at least one hour, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.

6. Bake the Pudding:

   • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
   • Place the cake pan on a foil-covered baking sheet to catch any drips.
   • Bake the pudding in the preheated oven for at least one hour. Check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; if it comes out clean, the pudding is done. If not, bake for additional time until the knife comes out clean.

7. Serve:

   • The pudding should have a domed shape and a golden color when done.
   • Serve hot or cold, and consider pairing it with a Brandy hard sauce, whipped cream, or ice cream for added indulgence.
