Ingredients

• 8 cups brioche bread
• 4 large eggs
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with unsalted butter.

Step 2

Cut the brioche bread into 1-inch cubes and spread them evenly in the prepared baking dish. If desired, sprinkle raisins over the bread.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Gently press the bread down with the back of a spoon to help it absorb the custard.

Step 5

Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to fully absorb the custard.

Step 6

Dot the top of the bread pudding with small pieces of the unsalted butter for added richness.

Step 7

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly, about 10 minutes.

Step 9

Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
