Ingredients

• 6 cups (cubed, day-old preferred) Bread
• 6 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
• 2 tablespoons (melted) Butter
• 0 Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
• 0 Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

Cut the bread into small cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.

Step 3

In another mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes and gently toss to coat the bread evenly. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the mixture.

Step 5

Spoon the soaked bread mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup to the top and lightly pressing down to compact the mixture.

Step 6

Drizzle the melted butter over the tops of the muffins.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Dust with powdered sugar and serve with a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired. Enjoy!
