Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups (cubed) day-old bread (preferably brioche or challah)
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 large eggs
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the muffin pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan with butter or line it with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
Add the cubed bread to the liquid mixture, tossing gently to ensure all the bread is soaked. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the mixture.
If using raisins, fold them into the bread mixture at this stage.
Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin pan, pressing lightly to ensure the bread cubes fit snugly into each cup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Optional: Top with powdered sugar or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra treat.
