Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 5 cups cubed French or Italian bread
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ⅓ cup whiskey
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter

Instruction

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).
  • Grease an 8 x 6-inch baking dish with the tablespoon of butter and set aside.
  • Place the cubes of bread in a large bowl and set aside.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Pour over the bread and gently stir to combine.
  • Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • Transfer the bread mixture to the baking dish and bake until the center of the bread pudding is set, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • While the bread pudding is baking, make the whiskey sauce.
  • In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, combine the cream, milk and sugar. Add the cornstarch and the whiskey to a small mixing bowl and whisk to blend until smooth.
  • Pour the whiskey mixture into the cream mixture and bring to a boil.
  • Once the sauce begins to boil, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the sauce from the heat, add the salt and stir in the butter.
  • After the bread pudding has finished baking, remove from the oven and pour Whiskey Sauce over the top.
  • Serve warm.
