Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 7 cup day-old bread cubes preferably brioche or sandwich bread
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.75 cup lightly beaten eggs about 3 large
  • 2 cup whole milk
  • 0.75 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
  • 0.25 tsp fine salt
  • 0.5 cup raisins or golden raisins
  • 1 tbsp coarse sugar for topping optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish with a little butter.
  • Toss the bread cubes with the softened butter until lightly coated. Stir in the raisins.
  • Whisk eggs, sugar, milk, cream, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
  • Fill the dish with the buttered bread mixture. Pour the custard evenly over the top.
  • Press the bread down to submerge. Let it soak for 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with coarse sugar. Set the dish on a baking sheet to catch drips.
  • Bake until puffed, golden, and just set in the center, 35–40 minutes.
  • Cool 10 minutes. Serve warm, plain or with cream or ice cream.

Notes

Variation: Swap raisins for chopped dried apricots or chocolate chips, or brush the top with warmed marmalade. Storage: Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days; reheat covered at 325°F until warm or microwave individual portions.
