Classic Bread Pudding Recipe by Mimi's Cafe
Indulge in the rich and comforting flavors of this classic bread pudding, a delightful treat for any time of day.
Ingredients
| 1 | French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes |
|---|---|
| ¼ | cup sugar |
| ½ | cup raisins (soak ½ hour in warm water and drain) |
| 2 | teaspoons vanilla |
| 1 | pinch nutmeg |
| 1 | quart half-and-half cream |
| ¼ | lb butter, melted |
| 4 | eggs, beaten |
Instructions
| 1. | Arrange the cubes of French bread in a 9 x 9 x 2 1/2" baking pan, then generously sprinkle the plump raisins over the top. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Ensure the bread fills the pan to the brim, adjusting the quantity as needed to reach the top. |
| 3. | Prepare the batter by whisking together the vanilla, nutmeg, half-and-half cream, melted butter, and beaten eggs. Pour this luscious mixture over the bread and gently stir. Let the bread soak for half an hour; the pan may appear full. Discard any excess batter, or amend with a splash of milk if insufficient. |
| 4. | Bake the pudding in a preheated 325°F oven for approximately 40 minutes until the top is a luscious golden brown, with a slight puff around the edges. The center should be softly 'set' but moist. This dish can be prepared in advance and easily reheated in the microwave when desired. |
