Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F. Mix 2 tablespoons of the sugar and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon in small bowl; set aside. Spray 13x9-inch baking dish with no stick cooking spray. Set aside.
Whisk half & half, eggs, remaining 3/4 cup sugar, vanilla, remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in large bowl until well blended. Arrange about 8 cups of the bread cubes in prepared baking dish. Pour egg mixture evenly over top. Let stand 15 minutes. Scatter remaining 4 cups bread cubes over top, pressing gently to partially submerge in egg mixture.
Brush top of exposed bread cubes with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture.
Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until deep golden brown and knife inserted in center comes out clean.
Meanwhile, for the Vanilla Cinnamon Sauce, mix sugar, cream, butter and cinnamon in medium saucepan; bring to boil on medium heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer 5 to 10 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Serve bread pudding warm, drizzled with Vanilla Cinnamon Sauce.
