Brioche Bread Pudding

This old-fashioned bread pudding uses brioche for extra richness and a perfectly sweet custard studded with plump raisins. The two-step baking method gives you crispy golden edges with a creamy custardy center every single time.

Equipment

  • 1 9×13-inch baking dish

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf brioche bread about 12 cups cubed
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup raisins soaked and drained

Instructions

  • Prep. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
  • Dice brioche. Cut brioche into 1-inch cubes and spread evenly in prepared dish.
  • Make cream base. Whisk together milk, cream, eggs, both sugars, melted butter, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
  • Soak raisins. Soak raisins in warm water for 10 minutes, drain well, and sprinkle over bread cubes.
  • Assemble and rest. Pour custard mixture over bread. Press bread down gently to ensure all pieces are soaked. Let sit 10-15 minutes.
  • Bake covered. Cover loosely with foil and bake 30 minutes.
  • Baked uncovered. Remove foil and bake another 20-25 minutes until golden brown and center is set.
  • Cool and serve. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
Can substitute challah or French bread for brioche. Add chocolate chips instead of raisins for a chocolate version.
