Classic Bread Pudding with Vanilla Custard 🍞🍮

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Bread Pudding

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Lightly butter a 9×13-inch baking dish. Add cubed bread and raisins or nuts if using.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, sugars, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
4. Pour custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes, gently pressing down to ensure all pieces are soaked.
5. Let sit for 15–20 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
6. Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

Cool slightly while preparing the vanilla custard sauce.
