Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups day-old bread (preferably brioche or white bread)
- 0.5 cups mixed dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, chopped apricots, etc.)
- 0.75 cups milk
- 0.25 cups heavy cream
- 1 whole large eggs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoons butter (for greasing ramekins)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease two 8-ounce ramekins with butter and set aside.
Cut the bread into small, bite-sized cubes and divide them evenly between the prepared ramekins.
Sprinkle the dried fruits evenly over the bread cubes in the ramekins.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, egg, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Slowly pour the custard mixture over the bread and dried fruits in each ramekin, ensuring all the bread is soaked.
Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet for easier handling and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the custard is set but slightly wobbly in the center.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream, a scoop of ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce!
