Low Carb + Protein Bread Pudding

I fell in love with bread pudding during a visit to New Orleans when I was a teenager.  I think we had bread pudding for breakfast lunch and dinner and I wasn't complaining. That white sauce that they smoother on the oey, gooey bread is mouth watering. Needless to say I gained about 5+ pounds on that weekend getaway. 

Bread pudding is packed with tons of carbs and refined sugar that are not very macro or health friendly. I decided that I would try and give my favorite dessert a "healthier' twist. Much to my amusement I nailed it on the first try and don't think I'll be missing the New Orleans one anymore.
