Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (cubed) Day-old brioche or French bread
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon (melted) Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- optional Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two small ramekins or a small baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, melted butter, ground cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.
Place the cubed bread into the prepared ramekins or baking dish. Make sure the bread cubes are evenly distributed.
Slowly pour the custard mixture over the bread, ensuring all pieces are well soaked. Gently press down on the bread with a spoon to help it absorb the custard.
Allow the bread to soak in the custard for about 5 minutes before placing in the oven.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set (a knife inserted into the center should come out clean).
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this indulgent French vanilla bread pudding with a loved one!
