Ingredients

• 2 cups Day-old bread (French or brioche)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.125 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
• 0 optional Maple syrup (for serving)
• 0 optional Fresh berries or powdered sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease two 8-ounce ramekins or small oven-safe dishes with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2

Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and divide evenly between the two ramekins.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes in each ramekin, ensuring all the bread is soaked. Gently press the bread down with a spoon or your fingers to help it absorb the liquid.

Step 5

Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the tops of the bread in both ramekins.

Step 6

Let the ramekins sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to fully absorb the liquid (or cover and refrigerate overnight if preparing ahead).

Step 7

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet to catch any spills, and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the custard is set.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Optionally, drizzle with maple syrup and garnish with fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar.
