Notes
**Leave the brioche bread cubes out for a few hours to dry a bit. If you don’t want to take the time, place them on a baking sheet and bake them for 10-15 minutes at 350 F. for 10-15 minutes. They should be dry but NOT toasted.
You can prepare the brioche bread pudding the night before and then pop it in the oven for breakfast or dessert the next day.
