Notes
- What is half and half: Half and half is a blend of equal parts whole milk and light cream. It averages 10 to 12% of fat. Half and half can be found near the milk and cream in the dairy section of your local grocery store.
- I don't have a brioche bread, can I use any other kind of bread: Yes, absolutely! You can use any plain white bread thick cut like Texas toast, or rich and sweet bread such as raisin bread, hot cross buns, challah or even cinnamon rolls.
- How do I store leftovers: Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Serve cold, or warmed up.
- What other optional toppings can I use: You can drizzle some maple syrup over the pudding, or caramel sauce or top with whipped cream.
- Can I make this in individual ramekins: Absolutely! You can prepare everything in a large dish then transfer to individual ramekins before chilling in the fridge. Bake as normal, but remove the aluminum foil after 15 minutes and bake for another 5 minutes or until golden brown.
