Nope this is not healthy but sometimes you need to have something like this every now and then. This is quite simple to make however it is not overly complicated the only you need to be careful about is not boiling the milk and the cream because then you will scramble the eggs. You serve this with some ice cream, custard or to be really bold chocolate sauce or all 3 😉.
Ingredients
• 1/4 cup of butter
• 10 slices of soft brioche bread cut diagonally
• 1/2 cup of raisins
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 2 large eggs or 3 medium eggs
• 4 tablespoons white sugar, divided
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method.
- Heat the oven to 180 C. Grease a 1 quart/1 litre dish with a little of the butter.
- Spread one side of each of the bread triangles with remaining butter.
- Cover the base of the dish with overlapping triangles of bread, butter side up. Sprinkle half the raisins evenly over the bread, then lightly sprinkle with a little nutmeg and cinnamon. Repeat this layer one more time or until the dish is filled, finishing with the raisins on top.
- In a saucepan, gently heat the milk and cream, but do not boil. Set aside.
- In a medium-sized heatproof bowl, beat the eggs with 3 tablespoons of the sugar and the vanilla extract until light, airy, and pale in colour.
- Slowly pour the warm (not hot) milk over the eggs, whisking continuously, until all the milk is added.
- Pour the egg mixture slowly and evenly over the bread until all the liquid is added. Gently press the bread down into the liquid. Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of sugar over the surface.
- Bake the pudding in the hot oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the surface is golden brown, the pudding is well risen, and the eggs are set.
