Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Tres Leches Bread Pudding
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, whole milk, evaporated milk, 3/4 can of sweetened condensed milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth.
  3. Take your brioche bread cubes and immerse them in the custard mixture, gently folding until thoroughly coated.
  4. Transfer the soaked bread mixture into a greased 12x8 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips over the top, if using.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until golden-brown and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  7. Drizzle the remaining sweetened condensed milk across the top while it's still warm and let it cool slightly before serving.
