• 2 tbsp. instant pudding (french vanilla)
• 1 cup whole milk or half and half
• 2 eggs
• 3 tbsp. melted butter
• 2 tbsp. sugar
• 1/4 tsp. vanilla

• 1/8 tsp. nutmeg

Directions:

2. In a small bowl or mixing cup, mix milk, eggs, butter, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add to bread cube mixture, and stir to coat. Transfer to a crockpot that has been coated with cooking spray.
3. Cook on low for 2 to 2-1/2 hours, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
