Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups (cubed) Day-old bread (French or brioche)
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- as desired Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Spread the cubed bread evenly across the baking dish.
Sprinkle the sliced strawberries over the bread cubes, ensuring an even distribution.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, melted butter, and cinnamon (if using) until well combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread and strawberries, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure all the bread is soaked.
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard fully.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set in the middle.
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
