Notes
Cooking Steps:
-
Prepare the Bread:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
- Cube the bread and place it in the baking dish. Optional: Add raisins on top of the bread for extra flavor.
-
Make the Custard:
- In a bowl, whisk together milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Pour this mixture over the cubed bread, making sure all the bread is soaked. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
-
Bake the Pudding:
- Drizzle melted butter over the top of the bread pudding.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Serve:
- Allow the bread pudding to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a drizzle of caramel sauce or whipped cream, if desired.
