Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Day-old bread
- 6 tablespoons Jam (any flavor of your choice)
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish with the tablespoon of butter.
Spread 1 tablespoon of jam onto each slice of bread. Cut each slice into triangles or cubes, depending on your preference.
Layer the jam-covered bread pieces into the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them to create an even layer.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gently pour the custard mixture over the bread, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Press down lightly with the back of a spoon to help the bread absorb the liquid.
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to further absorb the custard.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set in the middle.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
Sprinkle powdered sugar on top for garnish, if desired, and serve warm.
