Ingredients

• 2 cups day-old bread (preferably brioche or white bread)
• 0.5 cups mixed dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, chopped apricots, etc.)
• 0.75 cups milk
• 0.25 cups heavy cream
• 1 whole large eggs
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 teaspoons butter (for greasing ramekins)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease two 8-ounce ramekins with butter and set aside.

Step 3

Cut the bread into small, bite-sized cubes and divide them evenly between the prepared ramekins.

Step 4

Sprinkle the dried fruits evenly over the bread cubes in the ramekins.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, egg, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 6

Slowly pour the custard mixture over the bread and dried fruits in each ramekin, ensuring all the bread is soaked.

Step 7

Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.

Step 8

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet for easier handling and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the custard is set but slightly wobbly in the center.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream, a scoop of ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce!
