Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Thick-sliced bread (preferably brioche or challah)
- 1 Large egg
- 0.33 cups Milk (whole or 2%)
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Butter (for greasing)
- 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a small oven-safe ramekin or baking dish with 0.5 teaspoons of butter.
Cut the bread slices into cubes (roughly 1-inch pieces) and place them into the prepared ramekin. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing down gently with a spoon or fork to ensure all the bread is soaked in the liquid.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
Place the ramekin on a baking sheet to catch any drips, then bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup for extra sweetness.
