How to Make Omm Ali Egyptian Bread And Butter Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Place 10 sheets of phyllo pastry on a baking sheet. Brush lightly with melted butter. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
  3. Remove from oven and increase temperature to 400°F (200°C).
  4. In a saucepan, gently heat 2 cups whole milk and 1 cup heavy cream over medium heat until steaming (do not boil).
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs and 1 tablespoon rose water.
  6. Slowly whisk the egg mixture into the warm milk and cream mixture. Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
  7. Crumble the baked phyllo pastry into bite-sized pieces. In a shallow baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches), layer half of the crumbled phyllo, followed by 1 cup chopped mixed nuts (almonds, pistachios, walnuts), and ½ cup raisins.
  8. Repeat layers with remaining phyllo, nuts, and raisins. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the layers.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before sprinkling with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  11. Serve warm, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
