Unsalted butter, room temperature, for baking dish
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
7 ounces brioche, cut into eight 1/2-inch slices, halved diagonally
1 1/2 pounds firm but ripe pears, such as Anjou or Bartlett (about 3), cored and very thinly sliced

The bread pudding was good, but I was expecting it to be more chocolatey. I think I would add more chocolate chips next time.

I thought the bread pudding was a bit dry. I think I would add more milk or cream next time.

This bread pudding was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would use less sugar next time.
