Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Soak raisins in warm water for 30 minutes, then drain.
- Lighly grease a 9-inch-glass casserole and fill with French bread cubes(use enough bread to come all the way to the top of the pan).
- Sprinkle raisins on top.
- In large bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, beaten eggs, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg and melted butter.
- Pour over the bread and raisins and lighly fold in using a spatula.
- Allow the bread to soak for 30 minutes. The pan will be very full. If you have too much batter, discard the excess. If there is not enough to fill the pan add additional half-and-half or milk.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, until the pudding is golden brown and puffed up around the edges. The center should be "set" but still a little soft.
- To make the whiskey sauce:
- In a small bowl beat eggs together with whiskey. Set aside.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat.
- Add the sugar and stir well.
- Remove from the heat, let cool slightly. Quickly whisk in the beaten eggs and whiskey.
- Place the sauce back on the stove over low heat and whisk constantly until the sauce has slightly thickened, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- NOTE: If over cooked the sauce will curdle.
- Keep warm until serving.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Place the raisins and whiskey in a small saucepan and heat just until the mixture comes to a simmer. Remove from the heat and let stand for 20 to 30 minutes. Alternatively, place the raisins and whiskey in a cup and heat in the microwave oven for about 20 to 30 seconds, leaving to rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Slice the bread into 1/2-inch rounds and then cut the rounds into 1/2-inch cubes; you should have about 8 cups of bread cubes.
- In a large bowl, combine the half-and-half and whole milk with the eggs and brown sugar. Whisk until well blended. Add the vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and dash of salt.
- Add the bread cubes and soaked raisins with their liquid to the bowl with the milk-egg mixture and stir to coat thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Stir occasionally.
- While the mixture rests, preheat the oven to 325 F. Generously butter a 2 1/2-quart baking dish.
- Spoon the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, distributing the raisins as evenly as possible.
- Bake the bread pudding in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until it is firm and golden brown. Remove the bread pudding to a rack to cool.
- Gather the ingredients.
- Combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar in a medium saucepan and set aside.
- In a small bowl or cup, whisk the cornstarch with the whiskey or bourbon.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks and set aside.
- Place the saucepan with the cream mixture over medium heat and add the cornstarch mixture. Cook until the sauce comes to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add about 1/2 cup of the hot mixture to the egg yolks while whisking constantly. By tempering the mixture you prevent the eggs from becoming curdled.
- Pour the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan and cook for 1 minute longer. Whisk in a pinch of salt, the butter, and vanilla, if using.
- Transfer the sauce to a bowl and if not serving immediately, place a sheet of plastic wrap directly on top to prevent a skin from forming. The sauce will thicken more as it stands. When ready to serve, spoon some of the warm sauce over each serving of bread pudding and enjoy.

WHISKEY BREAD PUDDING
Steps:
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended. Add the sugar and mix in then add the vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, butter, and cream. Lay the bread cubes in a 8 by 8 inch square baking dish, sprinkle the nuts and raisins around, and then pour the custard over the bread. Cover the dish and let it soak overnight in the refrigerator.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cover the dish with foil and poke holes in it. Bake until bread pudding souffled up, about 40 minutes then remove the foil, and bake another 10 minutes to brown lightly.
- For the sauce, in a saucepan heat the cream, sugar, cinnamon, and butter together until almost boiling. Meanwhile, mix the cornstarch with the whiskey and stir it into the hot liquid. Bring just to a boil to thicken it.
- To serve, pour a few spoonfuls of the whiskey sauce on a dessert plate. Scoop out the desired portion size of the pudding, placing it on the sauced plate. Dust the pudding with powdered sugar and finish it off with a dollop of whipped cream.
- Notes about the recipe: This is a restaurant recipe so uses leftover bread. Save the crusts and dry them in a low oven, then grind them in a food processor to make bread crumbs.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan; set aside. Combine 3/4 cup sugar, the cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Beat in whole eggs until smooth; whisk in cream and vanilla. Add bread cubes; stir, allowing bread to soak up custard. Scatter raisins in greased pan; top with egg mixture, which will prevent raisins from burning. Bake until pudding is golden and firm to the touch and a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. It should be moist, not runny or dry. Cool to room temperature.
- Butter six 6-ounce ceramic ramekins; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup sugar; continue whisking until shiny and thick. Test with a clean spoon. If whites stand up stiff, like shaving cream, when you pull out the spoon, meringue is ready. Do not overwhip, or whites will break down and souffle will not work.
- In a large bowl, break half the bread pudding into pieces using your hands or a spoon. Gently fold in a quarter of the meringue, being careful not to lose the air in the whites. Divide a portion of this mixture among the ramekins. Place remaining bread pudding in bowl, break into pieces, and carefully fold in rest of meringue. Top off souffles with this lighter mixture, piling it high, about 1 1/2 inches over top edge of ramekins. With a spoon, smooth and shape tops into a dome over ramekin rims. Bake immediately until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately. Using a spoon at the table, poke a hole in the top of each souffle, and spoon the room-temperature whiskey sauce into the souffles.

Steps:
- BREAD PUDDING: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cut the bread into small cubes and put the cubes into the prepared dish. Scatter the raisins evenly along the top. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon until frothy and well-combined. Pour the liquid carefully over the bread and mash everything together. Let this sit for at least an hour, mashing it a few more times so that all of the bread absorbs as much liquid as possible. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, or until you see no liquid when you press the bread in the middle of the pan. WHISKEY SAUCE: Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the sugar, whiskey, water, salt, and nutmeg, and cook this mixture until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Beat the eggs in a bowl and then slowly add a bit of the hot whiskey mixture, whisking as you go. Once tempered, add the egg mixture to the whiskey mixture and return to the heat. When a boil is reached, cook for one minute, then remove from the heat. To serve, cut a square of bread pudding and cover it with whiskey sauce, making sure both are warm.

Steps:
- Heat bourbon in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until warm. Pour over raisins in a small bowl; let stand at least 1 hour or overnight.
- To make whiskey sauce: bring cream to a simmer over medium heat in a small saucepan. Whisk together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water; slowly whisk into cream. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to low; simmer, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in sugar and bourbon. Set aside and let cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir together bread, milk, and cream in a large bowl. Whisk eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt, and allspice in a medium bowl; add to bread mixture. Stir in raisins and bourbon.
- Melt butter in an 8-inch square baking dish in oven. Remove from oven, and swirl to coat bottom of dish. Pour in bread mixture, distributing raisins evenly. Bake until bread cubes are browned around edges and custard is cooked, about 35 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Serve with whiskey sauce.
Tips:
- Use a variety of breads for a more complex flavor and texture. Stale bread works best, as it will absorb more of the custard mixture.
- If you don't have any whiskey on hand, you can substitute another type of alcohol, such as brandy, rum, or bourbon. You can also omit the alcohol altogether if you prefer.
- Be sure to use a baking dish that is large enough to accommodate all of the bread and custard mixture. A 9x13 inch baking dish is a good size.
- Cover the bread pudding with foil before baking to prevent it from drying out.
- Serve the bread pudding warm with the whiskey sauce. You can also top it with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries.
Conclusion:
Bread pudding is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be made with a variety of ingredients. It's a great way to use up leftover bread, and it's also a relatively inexpensive dessert to make. The whiskey sauce adds a rich and decadent flavor to the bread pudding, making it a perfect dessert for a special occasion.
