For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of bourbon or rum to the egg mixture. To prevent the top from browning too quickly, tent the baking dish with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking. Leftover bread pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving. Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Toasting the almonds enhances their flavor and adds a nice crunch.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepGenerously butter a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the melted butter. (2 minutes)
03
StepIn a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter until evenly coated. (3 minutes)
04
StepSpread the buttered bread cubes evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the dark chocolate chips and toasted almonds over the bread. (5 minutes)
05
StepIn a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, almond extract, and nutmeg until well combined and slightly frothy. (5 minutes)
06
StepPour the egg mixture evenly over the bread mixture in the baking dish. Gently press the bread cubes with a spatula to ensure they are submerged in the liquid. Allow the mixture to soak for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes, for optimal absorption. (30 minutes)
07
StepBake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread pudding is set. A knife inserted into the center should come out relatively clean. (50 minutes)
08
StepLet the bread pudding cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
