Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
Spread your cubed tsoureki onto 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Toast them in the oven for 10 minutes, stirring mid-way through and being careful not to burn your bread
8 cups tsoureki, cut into bite sized cubes
Remove the tsoureki from the oven and transfer the toasted cubes into a greased baking pan.
small amount of butter for greasing the pan
In another bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla. Pour this evenly over the tsoureki. Cover your baking pan with plastic wrap, allowing it to lay directly onto the tsoureki. Place in the refrigerator for at least an hour, or overnight.
4 large eggs, 2 ½ cups milk, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove the plastic wrap from your baking pan and bake your bread pudding in the middle rack of your oven for approximately 45 minutes. If the top begins to brown before your bread pudding is done, simply cover it loosely with tin foil.
Meanwhile, approximately 5 - 10 minutes before your bread pudding is due to come out of the oven, prepare your sauce.
Melt the butter and then combine it with the milk. Stir well. Add the icing sugar and Metaxa and whisk well until the sauce is smooth and uniform. It will be rather thin.
2 tbsp unsalted butter, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 cup icing sugar, 1 tbsp Metaxa (brandy)
Serve your bread pudding warm, drizzle each portion with a little bit, or a lot, of the sauce.
Enjoy!
