Chocolate Almond Bread Pudding

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 12 slices day-old bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips, or to taste
  • 0.25 cup sliced almonds, or to taste
  • 8 eggs, beaten
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1.5 cups white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Pour melted butter over bread cubes in a 9×13-inch baking dish; toss to coat. Stir chocolate chips and almonds into bread mixture.
  3. Whisk eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, almond extract, and nutmeg in a bowl; pour over bread mixture, lightly pressing bread with a spatula until egg mixture is absorbed.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until the top of the bread pudding springs back when lightly pressed, about 45 minutes.
