Ingredients

  • 8 cups (about 8 slices) day-old French bread, torn into bite-sized pieces

  • 4 large eggs

  • 2 cups whole milk

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • For the Vanilla Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

  • Making the Bread Pudding:
  • Preheat your oven to 350Ā°F (175Ā°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Place the torn French bread pieces in the prepared baking dish.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
  • Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread pieces, making sure all the bread is soaked.
  • Let the bread pudding sit for about 15 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb the custard mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  • Making the Vanilla Sauce:
  • While the bread pudding is baking, prepare the vanilla sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and granulated sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Once the bread pudding is out of the oven, drizzle the warm vanilla sauce over the top.
  • Allow the bread pudding to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Day-old or slightly stale bread works best for bread pudding, as it absorbs the custard without becoming too mushy.
  • For an extra special touch, you can add raisins, chopped pecans, or a handful of chocolate chips to the bread pudding mixture before baking.
