Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices thick-sliced bread (French bread, brioche, or challah)
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
- powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
- maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the butter.
Arrange the thick-sliced bread in the baking dish, slightly overlapping if necessary.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Gently press down on the bread to help it absorb the liquid.
Let the bread sit for 5 minutes to fully soak up the mixture.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup before serving.
