THE BEST BREAD PUDDING
Ingredients:
6 slices day-old bread, torn into small pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
½ cup raisins (Optional)
2 cups milk
¾ cup white sugar
4 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
-Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-Place bread pieces into an 8-inch square baking pan. Drizzle melted butter over bread and sprinkle raisins over top.
-Whisk milk, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla together in a medium mixing bowl until well combined. Pour mixture over bread, and lightly push down with a fork until all bread is covered and soaking up the liquid.
-Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and the top springs back when lightly pressed, about 45 minutes.
