Classic French Quarter Bread Pudding
Ingredients
  • 1 (1 pound) loaf French bread
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup half-and-half cream
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup golden raisins
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) to create a warm and inviting environment for cooking. Slice the bread into 1-inch thick pieces, making sure they are all uniform in size.
2
Next, arrange the bread slices and pecans side by side on a baking sheet, leaving enough space between each slice to allow for even cooking. Drizzle the melted butter over the bread and pecans, taking care not to overdo it.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, cream, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat these ingredients together until they are well incorporated and smooth.
4
Now, place the bread slices and pecans in a lightly greased 7x11 inch casserole dish, making sure they are evenly distributed. Pour the egg mixture over the bread and pecans, ensuring that each slice is saturated with liquid.
5
Finally, bake the dish in your preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until it reaches a golden brown color. Serve the dish warm and enjoy.
