Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 loaf 1-2 days old bread French baguette, Sourdough, or Challah
  • 5 eggs
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup raisins optional
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Glaze

  • 1/2 package cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 5 tablespoons milk or heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Spray a baking pan with nonstick cooking spray, and spread the bread cubes evenly. Set aside.
  2. Cut the bread into about 1-inch cubes.
  3. Next, in a mixer bowl, combine the ingredients: eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon and heavy cream. Mix until well combined.
  4. Then, pour the mixture on top of the bread cubes. Sprinkle the raisins (if using) evenly on top. Toss with a rubber spatula to evenly coat and gently press the bread cubes under the mixture.
  5. Pour the melted butter on top and try to distribute evenly.
  6. Let the bread rest for at least 30 minutes, best for 60 minutes or overnight, to absorb the mixture. Preheat oven to 350 degrees when ready to bake.

Bake:

  1. After that, place the bread pudding in the preheated oven and bake at 350°F for 50-55 minutes or until set in the center. The bread should spring back slightly when pressed.
  2. Remove from oven when done, let cool for 10 minutes, and then glaze with vanilla sauce.

Cream Cheese Glaze - optional

  1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter for a few minutes until creamy and combined.
  2. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. Beat until thoroughly combined, stopping to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. The mixture should be smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Drizzle the glaze on top of the warm bread pudding, OR the glaze can be refrigerated in a piping bag and piped onto the slices right before serving.
