Mary Berry Brioche Bread and Butter Pudding is a classic baked custard dessert made with buttery brioche slices soaked in a sweet, creamy mixture of eggs, milk, and cream. It’s baked until golden on top and soft inside, creating a comforting, melt-in-the-mouth dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 8–10 slices of brioche bread

  • 50g softened butter

  • 3 large eggs

  • 300ml whole milk

  • 150ml double cream

  • 75g caster sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg (or cinnamon)

  • 50g raisins or sultanas (optional)

  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the brioche slices: Butter each slice lightly and cut them into halves or triangles for easy layering.

  • Arrange the layers: Place the brioche pieces in a greased baking dish, overlapping them to create height and texture.

  • Add optional extras: Sprinkle raisins, sultanas, or lemon zest between the layers if desired.

  • Whisk the custard mixture: Combine eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, and nutmeg in a bowl and whisk until smooth.

  • Pour the custard: Slowly pour the mixture over the brioche, ensuring every slice absorbs the liquid.

  • Rest before baking: Allow the pudding to sit for 10 minutes so the brioche absorbs the custard.

  • Bake until golden: Cook in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 25–30 minutes until the top is crisp and the custard is set.

  • Serve warm: Enjoy with custard, cream, or a simple dusting of icing sugar.
