Bread Pudding in Casserole Recipe
Ingredients:
- 6 cups of stale bread, cubed
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups of whole milk
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
- A pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup of raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
- Butter for greasing the casserole dish
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a casserole dish with butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
- Gently fold in the cubed bread, ensuring that all the bread is coated with the custard mixture. Add raisins or dried cranberries if desired.
- Let the mixture sit for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the bread to soak up the custard.
- Transfer the bread mixture into the greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set in the center.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Homemade Vanilla Sauce
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped out (or 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract)
Instructions:
- In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla bean seeds (or vanilla extract).
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.
- Once simmering, remove from the heat and let it cool slightly. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
- If using a vanilla bean, remove the pod before serving.
- Drizzle the warm vanilla sauce over slices of the bread pudding before serving.
