Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf of day-old bread (like brioche or challah)
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups of milk
- ½ cup of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- Optional toppings: fresh berries, maple syrup, powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until all ingredients are well blended.
- Tear the bread into bite-sized pieces and add them to the mixture. Gently stir to ensure each piece is coated.
- Pour the bread mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or for best results, overnight.
- Before baking, remove from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the custard appears set.
- Serve warm with your choice of toppings.
Notes
Use bread that’s a day or two old for better custard absorption and flavor. Letting it sit overnight enhances the taste.
