Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes in the baking dish, pressing down lightly to ensure that all the bread is soaked in the liquid.

Let the bread pudding sit for about 15-20 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard mixture.

If desired, arrange pecan halves on top of the bread pudding for an attractive garnish.

Bake the bread pudding in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
