Ingredients

• 6 cups Day-old bread (cubed)
• 1.5 cups Zucchini (grated and squeezed of excess water)
• 2.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar (packed)
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Butter (melted, for greasing the dish)
• 0.5 cups Optional: Raisins or chopped nuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the melted butter and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed bread and grated zucchini. Toss gently to mix and evenly distribute the zucchini.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the milk mixture over the bread and zucchini, ensuring all the bread cubes are soaked. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the liquid to fully absorb.

Step 5

If using optional add-ins like raisins or nuts, fold them into the mixture.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set in the center.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm as is, or with a drizzle of caramel sauce, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
