Ingredients

1 quart half-and-half
2 cups white sugar
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 loaf sliced bread, crusts removed, divided
oil for frying

Steps:

Combine half-and-half, sugar, and condensed milk in a large pot over medium-low heat. Bring to a gentle boil; simmer until reduced by half, about 55 minutes.
Dissolve 2 slices of bread in the half-and-half mixture; blend mixture with an immersion blender until thickened.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan. Fry remaining bread slices in batches until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels.
Slice bread diagonally; layer slices in a 9x12-inch baking dish. Pour in enough of the half-and-half mixture to evenly soak the slices.
Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 20 minutes. Flip bread slices and continue baking, about 5 minutes.

Time 2h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 quart oil for deep frying
8 slices white bread, crusts removed and cut into 4 squares
¼ cup cashews
¼ cup sliced almonds
2 tablespoons pistachio nuts
1 ¼ cups whole milk
5 tablespoons evaporated milk
¾ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 pinch saffron

Steps:

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry the bread slices in the hot oil until deep, golden brown; drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Fry the cashews, almonds, and pistachio nuts in the hot oil until golden brown; remove from oil and set aside to cool. Chop roughly.
Bring the milk to a gentle boil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-low heat; continue boiling until the volume of milk reduces by about half. Pour the evaporated milk into the pan and add the sugar, cardamom, and saffron; simmer together 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
Arrange the fried bread pieces in a shallow dish large enough to allow them to be laid in a single layer. Evenly pour the milk mixture over the bread. Scatter the chopped nuts over the bread. Chill in refrigerator until completely cold, 1 to 2 hours.
