• In a greased 10x10" or 9x13" baking dish, place half of the bread cubes and then half of the berries. Sprinkle the orange zest over the top. Add the remaining bread cubes and then berries.

  6 large eggs, 4 cups whole milk, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Pour the melted butter over the top of the dish and then sprinkle 2 tablespoon of sugar all over the top.
  ½ cup unsalted butter

Make the Orange Sauce

• In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together. Stir in the cream and orange peel.
  3 large egg yolks, ¼ cup sugar, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 orange peel strip, ½ teaspoon orange extract
• Turn heat to medium-low and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Do not let come to a boil. Transfer to a vessel and drizzle over sliced bread pudding.
