Ingredients

2 large eggs, room temperature

2 cups low-fat milk

¼ cup (58g) butter, cut into small cubes

½ cup sugar

¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

900g (4-5 cups) bread, cubed (any will do but I prefer a nice crusty bread)

1/3 cup dried cranberries or raisins

Yogurt, ice cream, or custard (if you insist) for serving

Directions

1. In a large bowl, lightly beat eggs, then mix in the milk and butter, it will be slightly clumpy but don’t worry it will bake perfectly. Mix in the sugar, salt, spices, and vanilla. Fold in the bread cubes and dried fruit.

2. Pour into a well-greased 30x20cm baking dish. Bake at 350°F (180°C) until a knife inserted 2cm from the edge comes out clean, 40-45 minutes. Serve with yogurt, ice cream, or custard.
