Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cinnamon raisin bread, cubed (preferably slightly stale)
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

  • powdered sugar or whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Equipment

  • 9×9-inch baking dish
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
  3. Add cubed bread to the mixture and gently fold to soak evenly. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and drizzle with melted butter.
