Bread Pudding Recipe
This comforting bread pudding transforms stale bread into a scrumptious dessert, enhanced with a rich vanilla sauce and warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.
Ingredients
- 6 cups cubed stale bread (French, challah, brioche, or regular sliced)
- 2 cups milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1.5 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.5 cups butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 0.5 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Grease an 8×8-inch casserole dish and set it aside. Cut the bread into 1-inch chunks and spread them evenly in the bottom of the casserole dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
- Pour the mixture over the bread, making sure all pieces are saturated. Let it sit for 20-25 minutes to soak.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Bake the pudding for 50-55 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter for the vanilla sauce. Add sugar, cream, and vanilla extract, stirring until it coats the back of a spoon.
- Serve warm vanilla sauce over the baked bread pudding and enjoy.
Notes
- For a twist, use day-old cinnamon or raisin bread.
- For non-dairy, substitute milk with almond or oat milk.
