Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups (cubed, day-old preferred) Bread
- 6 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
- 2 tablespoons (melted) Butter
- Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Cut the bread into small cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes and gently toss to coat the bread evenly. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the mixture.
Spoon the soaked bread mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup to the top and lightly pressing down to compact the mixture.
Drizzle the melted butter over the tops of the muffins.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve with a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired. Enjoy!
