Prep Time

Preparation time for this recipe is approximately 15 minutes.

Cook Time

Cooking time for this recipe is approximately 45 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups cubed stale bread, crusts removed
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Whisk
  • Saucepan
  • Wooden spoon

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. Add the cubed bread to the milk mixture and stir until all the bread is coated.
  5. Pour the melted butter over the bread mixture and stir again.
  6. Pour the bread pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

  9. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until light and fluffy.
  10. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
  11. Return the mixture to the saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  12. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  13. When the bread pudding is done, let it cool for a few minutes before serving with the vanilla sauce.

Notes

  • To make this recipe even easier, you can use store-bought bread cubes instead of cubing your own bread.
  • You can also add raisins or other dried fruit to the bread pudding for extra flavor.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use all milk instead.
  • The vanilla sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve the bread pudding.

Recipes FAQ

What type of bread is best for bread pudding?

Stale bread is best for bread pudding, as it will soak up the liquid better than fresh bread. Any type of bread will work, but brioche, challah, or French bread are good options.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes! You can make the bread pudding up to a day ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven before serving.

Can I use a different sauce instead of vanilla sauce?

Yes! Whipped cream, caramel sauce, or chocolate sauce would all be delicious with this bread pudding.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to use stale bread, as fresh bread will not absorb the liquid as well.
  • If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking dish, you can use a 2 quart casserole dish instead.
  • For a fun twist, you can make individual bread puddings by dividing the mixture into ramekins before baking.
  • If you're short on time, you can skip making the vanilla sauce and serve the bread pudding with a dollop of whipped cream instead.
