Cajun Bread Pudding

7 Tbs unsalted Butter, melted
1/4 cup unsalted Butter, melted
16 cup Bread Cubes, dry and unflavored
3 large Eggs

2 Tbs Vanilla
1 tsp Nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp ground Cinnamon

3/4 cup Half and Half
3/4 cup Raisins
1/2 cup chopped Pecans

Coat all sides of a 13 "x 9" baking pan with 7 Tbs melted butter.

Add bread cubes. In a separate large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.

Add vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, milk, half and half, raisins, pecans, and 1/4 cup butter.
