Whisk the eggs, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and melted butter together in a large mixing bowl until very smooth.
Add the half-and-half and mix well.
Add the bread and raisins and let the mixture sit for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
Bake until the pudding is set in the center, about 1 hour. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Bourbon Sauce:
Dissolve the cornstarch in the bourbon.
Heat the cream, half-and-half, vanilla and sugar in a saucepan over high heat, whisking, for 3 minutes.
When bubbles form around the edges of the cream, whisk in the bourbon mixture.
As the cream boils up, remove the pot from the heat and continue whisking vigorously until thoroughly blended and slightly thickened. Place over low heat and simmer for 1 minute.
