How to Make Australian Bread And Butter Custard

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Thinly butter 4 slices of bread (about 1 inch thick).
3. Cut each slice into four squares.
4. Arrange half of the bread squares in the bottom of a buttered 1-quart casserole dish.
5. Sprinkle 1/4 cup raisins evenly over the bread.
6. Cover with the remaining bread squares.
7. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
8. Gently pour the custard mixture over the bread in the casserole dish, ensuring all bread is soaked.
9. Let the casserole stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
10. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg evenly over the top.
11. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the custard is set and golden brown.
12. Let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy by itself or with your favorite canned fruit (peaches or berries recommended).
