Ingredients

• 2 cups (cubed) Day-old bread (such as brioche or French bread)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Butter (for greasing)
• 2 tablespoons Optional: Raisins or chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease two small ramekins or baking dishes with butter.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Place the cubed bread into the greased ramekins, dividing it evenly. If using raisins or chocolate chips, sprinkle them over the bread.

Step 4

Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring each piece is well coated. Press down gently with the back of a spoon to help the bread absorb the liquid.

Step 5

Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to allow the bread to fully soak up the custard.

Step 6

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet for easier handling and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the pudding is set.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or with a drizzle of cream or a scoop of ice cream!
