Ingredients

• 6 slices Day-old bread
• 6 tablespoons Jam (any flavor of your choice)
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 cups Milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish with the tablespoon of butter.

Step 2

Spread 1 tablespoon of jam onto each slice of bread. Cut each slice into triangles or cubes, depending on your preference.

Step 3

Layer the jam-covered bread pieces into the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them to create an even layer.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gently pour the custard mixture over the bread, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Press down lightly with the back of a spoon to help the bread absorb the liquid.

Step 6

Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to further absorb the custard.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set in the middle.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Sprinkle powdered sugar on top for garnish, if desired, and serve warm.
