Bread Pudding with Strawberry Sauce

I saw this demonstrated today on Trisha Yearwood's Cooking Show, and it looked SO good!! I did this for you, Linda.
(serves 4)

3 large eggs
1&1/2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup orange blossom or clover honey
1 t. orange zest plus 2 T. orange juice
1/2 t. vanilla extract
1/4 t. ground cinnamon
1 loaf brioche bread, crust removed, cut into cubes
1 T. Sugar in the Raw*
2 T. Kerrygold* butter
1 lb. strawberries, rinsed, hulled*, and quartered
2 T. granulated sugar
Special equipment: 4 8 oz. crème brulee ramekins

Preheat oven to 350. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl, then add the milk, honey, orange zest, vanilla, and cinnamon. Whisk until well combined. Put the bread cubes in the bowl and toss with the egg mixture until all the liquid is absorbed. Divide the bread mixture among the ramekins and transfer to a rimmed* baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops of the bread pudding with the raw sugar and bake until golden brown, about 25 min. In a large skillet over med.*-high heat, melt the butter until bubbling. Add the strawberries and sprinkle in the granulated sugar. Toss the strawberries and add the OJ. Reduce the heat to med. and simmer for 3-5 min. Serve with sauce over the bread pudding.

"Encourage yourself to sit in the front row of life. It will invite you to be attentive to and appreciative of all its varied aspects. When you answer, 'Present!' you will be rewarded by conscious living in which you are aware of your feelings, rather than separated from them."
