Ingredients

5 large eggs
3 cups 2% milk
1-1/4 cups sugar
1 cup half-and-half cream
1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 cups cubed day-old white bread
4 cups cubed day-old wheat bread
1/3 cup raisins
LEMON SAUCE:
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2-1/4 cups cold water
3 egg yolks, beaten

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Stir in bread cubes and raisins. Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 45-55 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
For sauce, combine the sugar, cornstarch, salt and water in a large saucepan until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat.
Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat; gently stir in lemon juice and butter. Serve with bread pudding. Refrigerate leftovers.
