Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177ðC).
  2. Grease a 1.5-quart baking dish and arrange the bread cubes evenly in the bottom.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth and uniform.
  4. Stir in the sugar, salt, and evaporated milk until well combined.
  5. Carefully stir in 2 tablespoons of the boiling water to temper the eggs, then mix in the remaining boiling water.
  6. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins, and vanilla extract to the custard mixture and stir gently.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are submerged.
  8. Let the pudding sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  10. Allow to cool slightly before serving warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
