Ingredients
- 8 slices thick-sliced bread (French bread, brioche, or challah)
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0 powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
- 0 maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the butter.
Step 3
Arrange the thick-sliced bread in the baking dish, slightly overlapping if necessary.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
Step 5
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Gently press down on the bread to help it absorb the liquid.
Step 6
Let the bread sit for 5 minutes to fully soak up the mixture.
Step 7
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
Step 8
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup before serving.
