Ingredients:

• 1 pack of brioche buns (or any bread you have: stale French bread, buns, etc.)
• 1/2 cup fruit of your choice
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon (or other spices)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Butter, for the baking dish

Instructions:

1. Chop the brioche buns (or your chosen bread) into bite-sized cubes. Place the bread cubes into a large mixing bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and any additional spices (such as nutmeg). Add a pinch of salt and sugar if desired, depending on the sweetness of the bread or milk. Whisk the mixture until smooth and fully combined to create the custard.
3. Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring that all the bread is well-coated. Let the bread sit for about 10 minutes, allowing it to absorb the custard.
4. Gently fold the sliced bananas and any additional fruit (raisins, apples, blueberries) into the soaked bread mixture.
5. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a casserole dish or baking pan with butter, and pour the bread and custard mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Allow the bread pudding to cool slightly before serving. It can be served warm or at room temperature.
