Notes

  • Use Stale Bread: Ensure the bread is at least 1 day old for better absorption of the custard. Check the 'day old' section at your grocery store for a budget-friendly option.
  • Repurpose Leftover Bread: Any extra slices can be used for homemade breadcrumbs or croutons.
  • Whole Milk is Key: Use whole milk instead of cream for a rich, creamy texture without excess heaviness.
  • Perfect Custard Ratio: The combination of milk and eggs provides just the right amount of richness and structure.
  • A Dash of Cinnamon: Adds warmth and depth without overpowering the dessert.
  • Let it Soak: Allow the bread to absorb the custard for at least 30 minutes before baking for the best texture.
  • Layering Tip: Butter each slice of bread before layering to achieve a richer flavor.
  • Add Extra Flavor: Sprinkle a little nutmeg, lemon zest, vanilla extract, or vanilla bean paste for a unique twist.
  • Customize the Toppings: Serve with freshly whipped cream, ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an indulgent touch.
