Ingredients
- 4 cups white bread torn into pieces
- ½ cup raisins
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter more to grease the pan
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch sea salt
Bourbon Cream Sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 ½ tablespoon flour
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- ¾ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter. Place the torn bread into the baking dish and sprinkle the raisins over the top.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs, whole milk, sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and sea salt. Pour the milk mixture over the bread and lightly press down on the bread with a spatula to make sure the bread is covered with the milk.
- Bake in the oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the edges are browned. (The center will still look soft.) Serve warm or at room temperature with the bourbon cream sauce over the top.
