Ingredients

  • 6 cups day-old bread, cubed (brioche, challah, or French bread)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups milk or cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • For topping: 2 tbsp melted butter, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Optional: maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Place bread cubes in a large bowl.
  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar, and cinnamon.
  4. Pour custard over bread and gently toss to coat. Let sit for 5–10 minutes to absorb.
  5. Divide soaked bread evenly among muffin cups, pressing lightly to compact.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until set and golden.
  7. While warm, brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture.
  8. Let cool slightly and serve with syrup, powdered sugar, or fruit if desired.

Notes

  • Add fruit like chopped apples or bananas for variation.
  • Mix in mini chocolate chips or raisins for extra flavor.
  • Use mini muffin tin for bite-sized versions—bake 12–15 minutes.
  • Make savory by omitting cinnamon sugar and adding cheese and herbs.
