Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a baking dish with butter.

Tear day old bread into bite-sized pieces and place in the baking dish.

Whisk together 2 cups milk, 4 eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tbsp. vanilla extract, 1 tsp nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a bowl.

Pour the mixture over the bread, ensuring all pieces are soaked.

Melt 1/2 cup butter in a saucepan over medium heat until foamy.

Add 1/2 cup brown sugar and stir until dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.

Mix in 3 tbsp. Mount Gay Rum and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Pour the rum sauce over the bread pudding before baking.

Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden and the pudding is set.

Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
