⏱ 60 minServes 6American

Ingredients

  • 6 cups cubed bread (brioche or French bread)
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 350°F and butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread bread cubes evenly in the dish.
  2. 2In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon until combined.
  3. 3Pour the custard mixture over bread cubes and let sit for 15 minutes, pressing gently so bread absorbs the liquid.

  5. 5Cool for 10 minutes before serving warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
