Ingredients
Ingredients
Brioche or Challah Bread
12 slices (at least 1 day old, cut into sandwiches)
Nutella
1 1/2 cups (spread between slices of bread)
Light Cream
2 cups (warmed)
Salt
1/4 teaspoon
Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon
Sugar
1 cup
Large Eggs
3 (beaten)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish with unsalted butter to prevent sticking.
2
Prepare the bread by making 6 delightful sandwiches using the brioche or challah and spreading Nutella generously between the slices. Cut each sandwich into 6 to 8 bite-sized pieces.
3
Carefully pile the Nutella sandwiches into your greased baking dish, ensuring they are evenly distributed to promote balanced cooking.
4
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the light cream, salt, and vanilla extract. Warm gently until just heated through, being careful not to boil.
5
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until well combined. Gradually pour in the warm cream mixture while stirring continuously to temper the eggs and avoid curdling.
6
Once fully combined, pour the creamy mixture evenly over the piled sandwich pieces in the baking dish. Use a spoon to gently press down any bread that is not submerged.
7
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it on the center rack of your preheated oven. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, removing the foil during the last 10 minutes to allow the top to brown beautifully. The pudding should be set and golden on top when done.
8
Allow the bread pudding to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving warm. This resting period ensures the pudding holds its shape and enhances the flavor.
