Try this classic Bread Pudding courtesy of Allrecipes, perfect for National Raisin Day (April 30) or any time you’re in the mood for a delicious dessert. It serves 12.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Tear 6 slices of day-old egg bread or brioche into bite-size pieces and place them in an 8-inch square baking dish, then drizzle 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the top and sprinkle with 1/2 cup raisins.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups milk, 3/4 cup sugar, 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread, gently pressing down with a fork so all the pieces are soaked.
Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and springs back lightly when pressed. Let cool slightly, then serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
