Ingredients

    • For the Bread Pudding:

    • 4 cups (8 slices) cubed white bread

    • 1/2 cup raisins

    • 2 cups milk

    • 1/4 cup butter

    • 1/2 cup sugar

    • 2 eggs, slightly beaten

    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

    • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

    • For the Vanilla Sauce:

    • 1/2 cup butter

    • 1/2 cup sugar

    • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

    • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread and raisins.

    1. In a 1-quart saucepan, combine the milk and 1/4 cup of butter. Cook over medium heat until the butter is melted, about 4 to 7 minutes.

    1. Pour the warm milk mixture over the bread, letting it stand for 10 minutes to absorb the liquid.

    1. Stir in the remaining pudding ingredients: sugar, eggs, vanilla, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined.

    1. Pour the mixture into a greased 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the center is set.

Directions for Vanilla Sauce:

    1. In a 1-quart saucepan, combine all sauce ingredients except for the vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and reaches a full boil, about 5 to 8 minutes.

    1. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
