Bread Pudding

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the French bread into 1-inch cubes and place in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Make the Custard

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine

    Pour the custard mixture over the cubed bread, gently folding to ensure all bread pieces are coated. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb.

  4. 4

    Add Berries and Pecans

    Fold in the fresh berries and toasted pecans into the bread mixture.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
