Ingredients

6 Cups Day-Old Bread - Cubed
2 Cups Milk
1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
4 Large Egg
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup Sugar
3 Tbsp Butter - Melted
2 Tsp Vanilla
1 Tsp Cinnamon
1/4 Tsp Nutmeg
1/4 Tsp Salt
1/2 Cup Raisins
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar - Garnish
Powdered Sugar - Garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter a 9-inch baking dish or six oven-safe crème brûlée dishes.
Place the bread cubes in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the raisins over the bread, if using.
In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread. Gently press the bread into the liquid so every piece is moistened.
Allow the mixture to rest for 20–30 minutes, pressing the bread down once or twice as it absorbs the custard.
Sprinkle the top with the coarse or brown sugar.
Bake a large bread pudding for 40–45 minutes, or individual dishes for approximately 25–30 minutes. The edges should be golden and the centre should be set but still slightly soft.
Allow the bread pudding to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with warm caramel sauce, if desired. Serve warm.
