Bread Pudding in Casserole with Vanilla Sauce

Ingredients:

• 4 cups of day-old bread, cubed into 1-inch pieces
• 2 cups milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/3 cup raisins (optional)

For the Vanilla Sauce:

• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a casserole dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
3. Add bread cubes to the mixture and gently stir until they are coated. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
4. Fold in raisins if using.
5. Pour melted butter evenly over the mixture and gently toss to distribute.
6. Transfer the bread pudding mixture to the greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
7. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
8. While the bread pudding is baking, prepare the vanilla sauce. In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, sugar, butter, and brown sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
9. Once the bread pudding is done, let it cool slightly. Serve warm, drizzled with vanilla sauce.
