Naughty N'awlins Bread Pudding
Unveil the secrets of a French seductress auntie with this sultry bread pudding. Perfectly paired with a teasing lemon or bold bourbon sauce. Let the flavors mingle on your tongue!
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), getting things hot and ready.
Cut the French bread into 1 inch thick slices, exposing its soft insides. Arrange these slices and the pecans on a baking sheet.
Drizzle the exposed bread and nuts with melted butter, allowing it to soak in its own naughtiness; toast lightly to a gentle caress.
In a large mixing bowl, vigorously beat together the eggs, cream, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, and vanilla, until the mixture is begging for mercy.
Place the toasted bread and pecans in a lightly greased 7x11-inch casserole dish, ready for more.
Gently pour the egg mixture over the bread, ensuring each slice is fully intoxicated with the liquid's embrace.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until golden and quivering with delight.
Serve the pudding warm, letting the flavors do a slow dance on your palate. Perfect with a teasing drizzle of lemon or bold bourbon sauce.
