Ingredients
- 1 large loaf white bread, I typically use an 18 oz loaf
- 6 large eggs
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
Caramel Sauce
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon flour
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1¼ cups milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
Instructions
Bread Pudding
- Grease a 3-quart (9x13 inch) casserole pan.
- Cut loaf of bread into cubes and place in the greased pan.
- In a very large bowl, whisk eggs.
- Whisk in sugar, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Pour the egg mixture over top of the bread, tossing the bread as necessary so that it's all covered in the egg mixture.
- Allow the pudding to sit for 20 minutes so that the bread soaks up the egg mixture. As you wait, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the aluminum foil and continue baking for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
- Let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing it into pieces and serving.
Cup of Yum
Caramel Sauce
- Mix brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon.
- Add it to a medium saucepan along with the egg, melted butter, and milk. Cook on LOW heat, whisking until smooth.
- Cook for 10 minutes, whisking constantly, then stir in vanilla. Drizzle over your warm bread pudding.
Notes
- STORE leftovers covered in the fridge. Bread pudding is best served warm. You can either warm it up in the microwave or preheat the oven to 350°F and bake covered for 10 minutes to warm it up.
