2 cups milk, scalded
1/4 cup butter
2 eggs
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 cups soft bread, torn into small pieces
1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Combine milk and butter, stirring until butter is melted. Cool to lukewarm.

Combine eggs, sugar, salt and nutmeg; beat at medium speed of mixer for 1 minute. Slowly add milk mixture. Place bread in a lightly greased 1 1/2-quart casserole; sprinkle with raisins and pour batter over all. Bake at 350 degrees F for 50 minutes or until set.

If you have a pressure cooker (like we did) cover the bowl the mixture is in with tin foil and place it in a pressure cooker. Put enough water in the pressure cooker to come about ½ the way up the bowl. Put the lid and the pressure regulator on the pressure cooker and cook at 5 pounds for about 10-15 minutes.
