Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 50 minutes
Serves: 8

Ingredients

8 cups cubed day-old bread

1 cup dried figs, chopped

1 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped

2 cups whole milk

1 cup heavy cream

3/4 cup granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp salt

Butter for greasing

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

3. Add the cubed bread, chopped figs, and walnuts into the mixture. Stir until the bread is evenly coated and begins to soak up the liquid.

4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.

5. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb more of the liquid.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set.

7. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
