Preparation

Set oven to 375 degrees.
Butter a deep 2 or 3-quart baking dish.
For the pudding; in a bowl combine the eggs, white sugar, brown sugar and nutmeg; stir in the melted butter and whipping cream; mix until well combined.
Add in the bread cubes and raisins; toss to combine with the cream mixture.
Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
Bake for about 50-55 minutes.
Cover with foil the last 30 minutes of baking to prevent excess browning.
Let stand for 10 minutes (or more) before serving with vanilla sauce.
For the vanilla sauce; in a heavy saucepan whisk all ingredients together (except vanilla) cook over medium heat whisking continuously for about 10 minutes or until thickened.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
