🥘 Ingredients

13 items

• 8 cups, cubed Bread (preferably brioche or challah)
• 6 large Eggs
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
• Maple syrup (optional for serving)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter.

2. Place the cubed bread in the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until fully combined.

4. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes in the baking dish. Gently press down on the bread with the back of a spoon or a spatula to ensure it absorbs the liquid.

5. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.

6. Cover the baking dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes.

7. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking uncovered for another 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.

8. Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

9. Dust the top with powdered sugar and serve warm with maple syrup, if desired.
