Ingredients
UnitsScale
6cups cubed bread (day-old or slightly stale)
4 large eggs
1cup milk
1/4cup heavy cream
1/4cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
Butter or cooking spray for greasing muffin tin
Optional toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or cooking spray.
Place the cubed bread evenly into the muffin cups.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes in each muffin cup, pressing down slightly to help the bread absorb the liquid.
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to soak in.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden and the centers are set.
Let cool for a few minutes before removing from the muffin tin.
Serve warm with optional toppings like maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh berries.
Notes
Use brioche or challah bread for a richer texture and flavor.
These can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freeze for up to 1 month; reheat in the oven or microwave.
