This is a simple and delicious way to use up leftover homemade bread. I like to use Oatmeal Molasses Bread best, but Challah is also amazing. I am lucky if I get a bowl. I also have used different dairy. Whole milk, half and half, mixtures of low fat and cream, everything seems to work fine.

Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F before baking. Butter a 2 quart baking dish or equivalent oven safe container.
- 2. Cut stale bread into cubes. Any bread will do, but homemade or bakery bread is best.
- 3. Beat eggs and mix in cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- 4. Put bread cubes in baking dish and mix in the dried fruit. Pour egg mixture over top. For best results let sit for 1/2 an hour AT LEAST. Overnight is much better.
- 5. Cut butter, sugar and flour for topping together to form smallish crumbs. Does not need to be perfect, but the butter should be even distributed for best results.
- 6. Sprinkle the topping over the bread and egg mixture.
- 7. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 45 minutes to an hour. A skewer inserted in the middle should come out fairly clean, but you don't want it too dry. There will be carry over cooking after letting it sit a few minutes.
