Ingredients
- 6 cups of cubed bread (brioche or challah works best)
- 1/2 cup Nutella, warmed for easy spreading
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- Butter for greasing the baking dish
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter.
- Prepare the bread: Spread the cubed bread in the greased baking dish. Drizzle or dollop the warmed Nutella over the bread, making sure it is evenly distributed.
- Make the custard: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Combine the ingredients: Pour the custard mixture over the bread and Nutella, making sure the bread is fully soaked. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
- Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set. The bread pudding should be slightly puffed and firm in the center.
- Serve: Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with extra Nutella or a scoop of ice cream.
