Ingredients
- 8 cups day-old crusty bread (e.g., baguette or sourdough)
- 6 slices prosciutto
- 5 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- 6 eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter.
Step 3
Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and spread them evenly in the greased baking dish.
Step 4
Tear the prosciutto into smaller pieces and scatter it over the bread cubes.
Step 5
Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese over the bread and prosciutto.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves until fully combined.
Step 7
Slowly pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread mixture in the baking dish, ensuring all the bread gets soaked. Gently press down on the bread with the back of a spoon to help it absorb the liquid.
Step 8
Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to fully soak up the custard.
Step 9
Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set when you insert a knife.
Step 10
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional thyme leaves if desired.
