Directions

1. Preheat oven

   Heat oven to 350º.

2. Heat ingredients

   Warm milk, cream, orange zest, orange juice, butter, vanilla, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over low-heat.
   
   Vegan option: Add the coconut milk, sugar, tofu, cornstarch, orange zest, orange juice, vegan butter, vanilla, sugar, and salt. to a blender and blend until smooth. (It might look a little speckly but won't be noticeable once it's baked.) Continue back to step 6.

3. Cook and set aside

   Cook until butter is melted. Set aside to cool.

4. Prepare bread cubes

   While milk mixture is cooling, butter a glass or ceramic baking dish and fill with cubed bread.

5. Add eggs to cooled mixture

   Slowly add eggs to the cooled milk mixture and whisk; pour mixture over bread.

6. Sprinkle add-ins

   Sprinkle cranberries over the top. (Substitute additional add-ins here.)

7. Bake

   Place dish in oven and bake for 30–45 minutes, or until custard is set. It should still be a little wobbly, and edges of bread have browned.

8. Garnish and serve

   Sprinkle top with powdered sugar and serve warm or at room temperature.
