To prepare bread pudding, arrange bread in a single layer on a baking sheet Bake at 350 for 8 minutes or until lightly toasted.
Combine evaporated milk and the next 7 ingredients ( through eggs) in a large bowl; stir with a whisk, Add bread cubed and let stand 20 minutes, occasionally pressing on bread to soak up milk.


To prepare sauce, combine brown sugar, 3 T. bourbon and butter in a small saucepan over med-high heat; bring to a boil. Simmer 2 minutes or until sugar dissolves, stirring frequently. Stir in 5 T. half and half; simmer 10 minutes or until reduced to about 1 cup. Remove pan from heat. Stir in remaining 1 T. half and half, 1 tsp. vanilla and ⅛ tsp. salt. Keep warm.


Spoon half of bread mixture into a 9 x 5 loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Drizzle 3 T. sauce over bread mixture. Spoon remaining bread mixture over the top and bake for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve warm sauce with bread pudding. ( You may have to reheat sauce on the stove for about 1 minute)
