Ingredients
- 6 slices of day-old bread, cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips (optional)
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the brown sugar until it’s dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
-
Gradually add the butter and brown sugar mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
-
Place the bread cubes in a greased 9×9-inch baking dish. If desired, sprinkle butterscotch chips over the bread.
-
Pour the egg and sugar mixture over the bread, ensuring all the bread is soaked. Press down gently to submerge the bread.
-
Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
-
Remove the butterscotch bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

Top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat if desired.
