Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 4 cups cubed day-old bread (French bread, brioche, or challah)
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• Powdered sugar (for dusting)
• Vanilla sauce, caramel sauce, or whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Bread:
   • Grease a baking dish that fits into your air fryer.
   • Place the cubed bread into the baking dish. If using raisins, sprinkle them evenly over the bread.
2. Make the Custard:
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
3. Combine Bread and Custard:
   • Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes, making sure all pieces are soaked.
   • Gently press down on the bread cubes to ensure they absorb the custard evenly.
   • Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes so the bread can fully soak up the custard.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes.
5. Cook the Bread Pudding:
   • Place the baking dish into the air fryer basket.
   • Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Serve:
   • Remove the bread pudding from the air fryer and let it cool slightly.
   • Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
   • Top with vanilla sauce, caramel sauce, or whipped cream, if desired.
