Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

- Cut the bread into 1 inch cubes; you should have 8-10 cups of bread cubes.
- Whisk together eggs, milk, half and half and vanilla.

- Add the melted butter and whisk it into the egg mixture.
- Put the cubed bread into your buttered baking dish and pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes.
- Sprinkle the pecans over the top and bake in the oven for 1 hour until a nice golden brown.
For the Boozy Sauce:
- While the bread pudding is baking, make the sauce by combining the butter, sugar, heavy cream and bourbon in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring to a boil; turn down to low and let simmer for 10-15 minutes; remove from heat and set aside.
- Drizzle some of the sauce over the bread pudding when it first comes out of the oven and serve the rest in a small pitcher to drizzle over individual slices.
