Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 2 cups half-and-half
• 1 cup whole milk
• 4 or 5 day-old plain bagels, crusts removed and cut into 1/2 inch cubes (8 cups)
• unsalted butter, for baking dish
• 1 1/4 cups halved pitted prunes (8 1/2 cups)
• 3/4 cup seedless raisins (3 1/2 oz.)
• Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Directions

1. Whisk together eggs, egg yolk, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon in a large bowl until smooth. Whisk in half-and-half and milk. Add bagel cubes, and toss to coat. Let mixture sit, stirring occasionally, until bread absorbs some of the liquid, about 1 hour.

2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter an 8-inch baking dish (2 inches deep). Stir prunes and raisins into bagel mixture and transfer to dish. Bake until top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour (if top browns too quickly, tent with foil). Let cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into squares, and serve with ice cream.
