Ingredients

• 6 cups day-old bread (e.g., French bread, brioche, or baguette)
• 3 medium zucchini
• 2 cups water
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 cups raisin (optional)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Prepare the zucchini milk by grating the zucchini and blending it with 2 cups of water until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl, discarding the solids.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the zucchini milk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until fully combined.

Step 5

Pour the zucchini milk mixture over the bread cubes. Gently stir to ensure all the bread pieces are evenly coated. Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.

Step 6

If using, fold in the raisins for a pop of sweetness.

Step 7

Transfer the soaked bread mixture into the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top for added richness.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the pudding is golden brown on top and set in the center.

Step 9

Allow the bread pudding to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm on its own or topped with whipped cream or your favorite sauce.
