How to Make Bread Pudding With Dried Cherries On The Grill

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut a loaf of your favorite bread (about 1 pound) into 1-inch cubes. Arrange on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until lightly golden brown.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs until light and frothy.
  4. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted unsalted butter. Whisk until well combined.
  5. Gradually whisk in 2 cups whole milk until smooth.
  6. Stir in 1 cup dried cherries and the zest of 1 lemon.
  7. Gently fold in the toasted bread cubes, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  8. Let the mixture rest for 30 minutes, gently pressing down on the bread to help it absorb the custard.
  9. Pour the bread pudding mixture into a greased 5x9 inch loaf pan.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or low-fat frozen yogurt (optional).
