Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups day-old bread cubed (French, brioche, or sandwich bread)
  • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1½ cups whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp melted butter plus more for greasing
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
Optional Add-Ins
  • ½ cup raisins
  • ¼ cup chopped nuts
  • ½ cup chocolate chips

Method
 

Prep the Pan
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter an 8×8-inch baking dish. Add bread cubes evenly.
Make the Custard
  1. In a bowl, whisk condensed milk, milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
Assemble
  1. Pour custard over the bread. Press gently so all pieces are soaked. Add any optional mix-ins.
Bake
  1. Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Rest & Serve
  1. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Best texture: Slightly stale bread absorbs more custard.
Extra indulgent: Serve with warm vanilla sauce, caramel, or whipped cream.
Dairy swap: Use evaporated milk plus condensed milk for an even richer custard.
