Bread Custard Dessert
A heartwarming baked dessert featuring cubes of toasted stale bread soaked in a rich, vanilla and cinnamon scented egg custard.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices stale white bread, cubed
- 2 cups whole milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
- Place the cubed bread and golden raisins in the baking dish and toss gently to distribute.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Pour the liquid mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all pieces are moistened.
- Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use brioche or challah bread for a richer, more buttery flavor.
- If the bread is fresh, toast the cubes in the oven for a few minutes to dry them out first.
- Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a scoop of cream.
