Servings: persons

1 tablespoon butter
5 cups cubed stale brioche bread or 5 cups challah
1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 cups half-and-half
1/2 cup whole milk (I use skim- works out fine)
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons Bourbon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
freshly whipped cream

1
Butter a 9x9 baking dish and put bread in it. Sprinkle with pecans.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together half-and-half, milk, eggs, butter, brown sugar, bourbon, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
3
Pour the custard mixture over the bread and stir to coat evenly. Let the pudding sit for 1 hour.
4
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Put the dish in the oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until puffy and set. Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes.
5
Serve with fresh whipped cream.
6
Variations: add one large chopped apple (try: Cameo, Cortland, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Jonagold, Jonathan, or Rome); one large sliced banana; or 1/2 cup golden raisins. I think blueberries might be good, too, but I haven't tried that yet.

Note: If your bread is fresh, toast it for 8-10 minutes on a baking sheet before you begin.
