What Makes This Recipe So Special?
1. The Bread:
Grandma always used what she had—day-old French bread, leftover rolls, or even a mix of odds and ends. That’s part of the charm. It’s rustic, hearty, and holds the custard just right.
2. The Custard:
Rich with eggs, milk, sugar, and a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg, the custard soaks into every cube of bread, turning it into something golden and luxurious.
3. The Vanilla Sauce:
Poured warm over the top, this sauce is what sets Grandma’s recipe apart. Silky, buttery, and just sweet enough, it melts into the pudding and makes every bite feel like something special.
4. The Memories:
Whether it was served after Sunday dinner or during a cozy winter night, this bread pudding was always the highlight. It brought everyone to the table and had a way of making even the simplest moments feel like a celebration.
Why You’ll Love It Today:
It’s no-fuss, deeply satisfying, and perfect for using up leftover bread. Whether you serve it for dessert, brunch, or a holiday gathering, this classic never goes out of style.
Serve it with:
- A drizzle of warm vanilla sauce (recipe included!)
