Ingredients
Equipment
Steps
- 1
Whisk eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large bowl.
- 2
Add bread cubes and raisins, tossing gently to coat. Let soak for 10 minutes.
- 3
Divide the mixture among greased ramekins, pressing down lightly to compact.
- 4
Air fry at 340°F for 18–20 minutes until the tops are golden and the custard is set.
- 5
While pudding cooks, melt butter with powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla for the sauce.
- 6
Drizzle warm vanilla sauce over the bread pudding and serve immediately.
Tip: Day-old bread is essential — fresh bread will turn mushy instead of custardy. Brioche and challah are ideal because their rich, eggy crumb absorbs the custard beautifully.
