• Preparation Steps for the Bread Pudding

  1. Begin by whisking together beaten eggs, rich whipping cream, creamy milk, sugar, a touch of salt, and fragrant vanilla essence in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Gently stir in the stale bread cubes and, if desired, plump raisins, ensuring they are well coated in the decadent egg mixture.
  3. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x9 inch baking pan, spreading it evenly to create a smooth surface.
  4. Sprinkle the top with a delicate dusting of aromatic cinnamon, adding a hint of warmth and spice to the dish.
  5. Bake the bread pudding in a preheated oven at 350°F for approximately 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set.
  6. Once baked, serve the bread pudding warm, accompanied by either a luxurious brown sugar sauce or a zesty lemon sauce for a truly indulgent sensory experience.
