{"0":"Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.","2":"Slowly bring custard ingredients to a boil while whisking to ensure egg yolks combine smoothly.","4":"Remove from heat, add bread, mix thoroughly, and set aside to soak while cooling (10 min - longer for bread that is more dense).","6":"Whip egg whites into meringue, slowly adding sugar and corn starch until stiff peaks form while bread and custard mixture cools and begins to thicken.","8":"Mix in the meringue after the bread has thoroughly soaked up most of the custard as this will result in more fluffy pudding.","10":"Place into a baking dish and bake for 30 min at 350 degrees F. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped topping of choice."}
