After looking over several bread pudding recipes, I decided to take the best parts of each and create my own recipe. My whole family absolutely loved it! We served it with butter, heavy cream and maple syrup. Yum!

Preheat oven to 350º

Cut pears & apples into very small cubes, or thin slices and add to bread. Sprinkle with blueberries, raisins and nuts.
4

Whip egg whites until foamy. Add cinnamon and nutmeg and lightly whip into egg whites.
5

Warm milk (do not scald) and add brown sugar and vanilla. Gently stir in the egg yolks.
6

Immediately pour over bread mixture and mix until bread is well saturated. Let sit for 20 minutes.
7

Add egg whites and gently fold into bread mix until well coated.
8

Lightly coat a 9x11 baking pan with cooking spray and add bread mixture.
9

Place in preheated oven and bake u covered for 1 hour. Check for doneness; a knife or toothpick should come out clean from the center.
