Ingredients (Serving 8):
- 8 slices of bread
- ⅓ cup Raisins
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1 ½ cups Milk
- ¼ cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 2 Large Eggs
- ¼ cup Granulated Sugar + some for topping
- 2 tablespoons Butter, softened
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and generously grease a 9×9 baking dish with butter.
- Remove the crust from the bread slices and cut them in half diagonally to form triangles. Butter one side of each slice.
- Layer the bread slices in the baking dish, placing them butter-side up.
- Sprinkle half of the raisins and cinnamon over the first layer of bread.
- Add the second layer of bread on top of the first and sprinkle the remaining raisins and cinnamon.
- In a saucepan, warm the milk and heavy whipping cream without letting it come to a boil.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar. Slowly add a small amount of the warm milk mixture to the egg mixture, whisking well to combine.
- Once tempered, whisk the egg mixture into the milk mixture in the saucepan, which should be removed from the heat.
- Pour the custard mixture over the layered bread in the baking dish and let it sit for 30 minutes to allow the custard to set.
- Sprinkle sugar on top for an extra layer of crunch, and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the pudding is golden brown and cooked through.
