Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf brioche or challah bread, cut into cubes
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- Powdered sugar and maple syrup for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Place the cubed bread evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing down gently to soak all bread pieces.
- Cover the casserole with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
- In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar and flour. Using a pastry cutter or fingers, cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the soaked bread.
- Bake uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, try adding a handful of fresh berries or chopped nuts to the topping before baking.
