Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a large bowl, beat the 2 eggs until light and frothy. Add 1 pint of milk, ½ cup sugar, and optional gratings of nutmeg or cinnamon; whisk until well combined.
-
Step 2.
Place 1 quart of stale bread or cake cut into cubes into a buttered pudding dish. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, pressing down gently to ensure all pieces are submerged. Let stand for 15–20 minutes until the bread is thoroughly soaked and softened.
-
Step 3.
If using, stir in ¼ cup seeded raisins and optional almonds into the soaked bread mixture, distributing evenly.
-
Step 4.
Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 30–40 minutes, until the pudding is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean. Let cool slightly before serving.
