Ingredients

• 6 cups day-old bread (cubed)
• 1 cup mincemeat filling
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread cubes and mincemeat filling. Toss them gently to evenly distribute the mincemeat.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the custard mixture over the bread and mincemeat mixture, ensuring the bread is evenly soaked. Let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the liquid.

Step 5

Transfer the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

To make the streusel topping, combine brown sugar, flour, and cubed butter in a medium bowl. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7

Stir in the optional chopped nuts if using, then evenly sprinkle the streusel topping over the bread pudding.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Allow the bread pudding to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a drizzle of cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
