Ingredients

• 8 cups French bread (day-old, cubed)
• 4 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cups Pure maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 0.5 cups Pecans (chopped, optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Spread the cubed French bread out onto a large baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly dry but not browned. Remove and let cool.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture over the cooled bread cubes and gently toss to coat. Let sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.

Step 5

Divide the bread mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, pressing it down lightly to compact it. Leave a little room at the top of each cup for expansion.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and brown sugar. Drizzle this mixture over the tops of the muffins and sprinkle with chopped pecans, if using.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are set and golden brown on top.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm, drizzled with extra maple syrup if desired.
