Place bread slices in a baking pan - pour one-half mixture over bread and let settle (let bread soak up mixture) and then top with rest of mixure. Cover with foil and bake for one hour at 275 degrees. Remove foil and bake for 15 minutes until top is golden brown.

To make sauce: Gently melt white chocolate in double boiler; remove from heat and mix in heavy cream. Spoon over bread pudding.
