Bread Pudding
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Bread
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Tear the day-old bread into bite-sized pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.

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

Combine and Bake
Pour the custard mixture over the bread pieces, pressing down gently to ensure all the bread is soaked. Dot with butter. Bake for about 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Prepare the Bourbon Sauce
In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of butter, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, and 1/4 cup of bourbon. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is smooth.

Serve
Let the bread pudding cool slightly, then cut into squares. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with bourbon sauce.
