Butter and Jam Bread Pudding is served in a golden-edge white ceramic dessert bowl with a scoop of ice cream on top and a silver spoon. The bread is baked golden-brown and slightly crispy on top, glistening with melted butter and vibrant red strawberry jam. The rich velvety custard is visible through the brioche's edges. The rest is in the white baking dish in the top right corner of the image.
