Challah (or any egg-rich bread) Pudding

Serves 12
This dessert is traditionally made from leftover challah, but any egg-rich bread will give the pudding its dense, rich texture. 
2 ½ cups 2% low-fat milk
½ cup dried tart cherries
½ cup golden raisins
½ cup fat-free sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon grated nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
8 cups (1-inch) cubes challah or other egg bread (1/2 loaf)
Cooking spray
2 tablespoons sugar
Preheat oven to 325°. 
Combine the first 9 ingredients in a large bowl.  Add challah cubes, tossing to coat.  Let challah mixture stand 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Coat an 11x7-inch baking dish with cooking spray.  Spoon the challah mixture into dish, and sprinkle with sugar.  Bake at 325° for 55 minutes or until pudding is set.  Let pudding stand 15 minutes before serving.
