Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups French bread (day-old, cubed)
- 4 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 0.5 cups Pecans (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
Spread the cubed French bread out onto a large baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly dry but not browned. Remove and let cool.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture over the cooled bread cubes and gently toss to coat. Let sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
Divide the bread mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, pressing it down lightly to compact it. Leave a little room at the top of each cup for expansion.
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and brown sugar. Drizzle this mixture over the tops of the muffins and sprinkle with chopped pecans, if using.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are set and golden brown on top.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm, drizzled with extra maple syrup if desired.
