Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 375°F. Butter a small baking dish (8x8 inch). Toss bread cubes with softened butter.

  2. Step 2

    Scatter buttered bread into the baking dish, pressing gently to fill gaps.

  3. Step 3

    Whisk milk, eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla in a bowl until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute.

  4. Step 4

    Pour custard evenly over bread. Let soak 2 minutes so bread absorbs liquid.

  5. Step 5

    Bake until edges are golden and custard is set but still jiggles slightly in the center, 8–10 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Cool 2 minutes, then serve warm. The pudding will continue to set as it cools.
