A comforting dessert with warm custard-soaked bread and chewy raisins, perfect for brunch or cozy gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices bread (preferably slightly stale; white or brioche)
- 4 tablespoons butter (softened for spreading)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raisins (or sultanas)
- Nutmeg, freshly grated (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions

- Grease a baking dish (about 8×8-inch or similar) with butter.
- Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread and cut them into triangles.
- Layer the bread in the baking dish, sprinkling the raisins in between the layers.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, a pinch of nutmeg (if using), and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Notes
This pudding is best enjoyed in mindful bites. Let the bread soak fully for a soft center and consider adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream or warm caramel for a festive touch.
