Instructions

Preheat. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8x8 baking dish or a 2 quart casserole dish.
Assemble Base. Add the cubed bread and quartered Oreo cookies to the prepared dish and toss gently to distribute evenly.
Mix Custard. In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Pour. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread mixture, pressing gently so the bread absorbs the liquid.
Bake. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and the internal temperature reaches at least 160°F.
Make Glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and milk or water until smooth.
Finish. Drizzle the glaze over the warm bread pudding. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Food Safety. Bread pudding is done when it reaches an internal temperature of at least 160°F and has a custard-like center.
Mixing. Whisk the custard thoroughly to avoid streaks of unmixed egg.
Make Ahead. Assemble the dish the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Let sit at room temperature while the oven preheats before baking.
Freezing. Freeze baked bread pudding without glaze for up to 4 months. Thaw before reheating.
