1 (1 pound) loaf French bread, cut into 1 inch cubes
•
1 cup chopped pecans
•
0.5 cup butter
•
0.5 cup heavy cream
•
0.25 cup whiskey
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Mix milk, eggs, 3 tablespoons melted butter, and vanilla together in a large bowl until well combined. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar and mix thoroughly until sugar is dissolved.
Place bread cubes into bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour milk-egg mixture over top, fully saturating all bread. Sprinkle with pecans.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 1 hour.
When bread pudding is almost finished, combine 1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup butter, cream, and whiskey in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is gently boiling.
Remove bread pudding from the oven. Pour sauce over top and serve.
