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.
