Ingredients

• 6 cups Day-old bread (brioche or sandwich bread preferred)
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 cups Milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Strawberry or grape jelly
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and spread them evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. It's okay if the peanut butter leaves small streaks; they'll add texture and flavor.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing down gently so the bread absorbs the liquid.

Step 5

Spoon dollops of jelly on top of the soaked bread mixture and use a knife to swirl it slightly for a marbled effect.

Step 6

Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to ensure the bread is fully saturated.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set (it should no longer jiggle when shaken).

Step 8

Let the bread pudding cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle powdered sugar over the top for garnish. Serve warm and enjoy!
