3 large eggs, room temperature

1-1/4 cups 2% milk

1/2 cup sugar

3 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon salt

4-1/2 cups day-old cubed brioche or egg bread

BOURBON SAUCE:

1/4 cup butter, cubed

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup light corn syrup

3 tablespoons bourbon

Instructions

1 In a large bowl, whisk together first 7 ingredients; stir in bread and raisins. Transfer to a greased 4-qt. slow cooker. Cook, covered, on low 3 hours. (To avoid scorching, rotate slow cooker insert one-half turn midway through cooking, lifting carefully with oven mitts.)

2 For sauce, place butter, sugar and corn syrup in a small saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in bourbon. Serve warm sauce over warm bread pudding.
