Bread Pudding

Hey all. My family loves bread pudding. I am always looking for new recipes and I found a great on e here. It is so easy to prepare. I hope you give it a try and tell me what you think. Make any changes that you want as well. Let me know.

1 loaf store bought frosted or unfrosted cinnamon raisin bread, unsliced
1/2 stick butter, softened
1 can sweetened condensed or reduced fat sweetened condensed milk
2 jiggers brandy
Whipped cream in spray top canister from your dairy aisle
Ground or grated nutmeg, for garnish


Heat a griddle pan over medium heat. Cut 4 thick slices of cinnamon raisin bread. Butter both sides of the bread slices with softened butter. Grill bread until brown and crispy on both sides, 2 minutes on each side.

While bread grills, in a small saucepot, heat sweetened condensed milk or reduced fat sweetened condensed milk over medium low heat for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in brandy.

Cut each grilled slice of bread into quarters and pile into 4 dessert cups. Top bread with a few spoonfuls of hard sauce of sweetened condensed milk and brandy and a generous swirl of whipped cream. Garnish cream with a sprinkle of nutmeg and serve.
