- 2 cups (480 ml) milk
- 1/4 cup (55 g) butter or margarine
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon or nutmeg

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC).

- In a large bowl, combine the slightly beaten eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually stir the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, ensuring the eggs do not cook prematurely.
- Add the bread cubes, raisins, and chocolate chips to the mixture, stirring gently to combine and ensure the bread is well-coated.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. Serve warm topped with ice cream and chocolate sauce if desired.
