Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups, cubed Day-old bread (French or brioche)
- 1 cup Dried cranberries
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing the dish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the butter and set aside.
Place the cubed bread in a large mixing bowl. Add the dried cranberries and gently toss to combine.
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream. Warm over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling. Set aside to cool slightly.
In another large bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling, until fully combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and cranberries. Gently press the bread cubes down with a spoon to ensure they soak up the custard. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to absorb.
Transfer the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm on its own or with a drizzle of cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
