Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 6 cups cubed bread (preferably day-old)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- Maple syrup, for serving
- Powdered sugar, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt.
- Add the cubed bread to the bowl and gently stir to coat all pieces with the egg mixture. Let sit for 5–10 minutes so the bread can absorb the liquid.
- Evenly divide the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, pressing down lightly.
- Drizzle melted butter over the tops of the muffin cups.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin.
- Serve warm with maple syrup and a sprinkle of powdered sugar, if desired.
Notes
- Use brioche or challah bread for a richer flavor.
- Can be made ahead and reheated in the microwave or oven.
- Add chopped nuts or fruit for variation.
