Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¼ cup heavy cream (or substitute with whole milk)
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons hot melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Additional Ingredients
- 4 cups cubed white bread (¾-inch cubes; see notes for bread options)
- ⅓ cup golden raisins
Instructions
- Prepare the Custard:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until combined. Add sugar, milk, cream, cinnamon, vanilla, and whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
- Stir in the hot melted butter to prevent clumping.
- Assemble the Pudding:
- Grease a 6-inch round cake pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Layer half of the bread cubes in the pan and sprinkle with half of the raisins.
- Pour half of the egg mixture evenly over the bread. Repeat with the remaining bread, raisins, and custard.
- Use the back of a spoon to gently press the bread into the liquid, ensuring even soaking.
- Cook in the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the cake pan in the air fryer basket and bake for 11-13 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve:
- Allow the bread pudding to rest for a few minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Bread Choices: Use soft Italian or French bread, brioche, or challah for best results.
- Soft Bread Tips: If using soft sandwich bread, burger buns, or dinner rolls, air-dry the cubes for a few hours before assembling.
- Egg Mixing Tip: Lightly beat the eggs before adding milk to ensure a smooth custard.
