Instructions

Make Bread Pudding:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177ºC). Butter a 9X13 inch baking dish generously with about 1 1/2 tablespoons butter; set aside.
  • In a medium, heavy-bottom saucepan add milk (2 cups), heavy cream (2 cups), sugar (1 cup), remaining 6 tablespoons of butter, cinnamon (1 1/2 teaspoons), nutmeg (1/2 teaspoon), and salt (1 teaspoon). Cook over medium heat. Stir frequently until the butter is completely melted. Remove from heat and cool for about 10 minutes.
