Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf crusty French bread, cut into cubes (about 12-14 slices)
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Powdered sugar for serving (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add the cubed bread to the egg mixture, gently stirring to ensure that all the bread is soaked. Let it sit for a few minutes.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading the bread evenly.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
