Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups (cubed) Day-old bread (French or brioche preferred)
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup (packed) Brown sugar
- 4 whole Large eggs
- 4 tablespoons (melted) Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 cup Jack Daniels whiskey
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Place the cubed bread into a large mixing bowl. If using raisins, toss them in with the bread cubes.
In another large bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and Jack Daniels whiskey until thoroughly combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the bread cubes and gently toss to ensure all the bread is coated. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the liquid.
Transfer the soaked bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Dust with powdered sugar for garnish before serving. Optionally, serve with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
