Bread Pudding

We just survived four Snow Days. When you are stuck in the house, it's nice to make a dessert that's easy and one in which you already have the ingredients. We found this on the web and made it using oat nut bread and 2 percent milk. Also, we used white sugar since we were out of brown sugar. If you don't feel like making it, the Montgomery Street Cafe has the best bread pudding I've eaten.

2 cups whole milk (or 2 cups half & half)
1/4 cup butter
2/3 cup brown sugar (light or dark, depending on taste preference)
3 eggs
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups bread, torn into small pieces (french bread works best)
1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Grease baking dish. Put bread into dish. In large bowl, mix all other ingredients and pour over bread pieces. Bake on 350 for 45 - 50 minutes.
