Ingredients
- 16 ounces crusty French bread , cut into 1-inch cubes
- 8 large eggs , well beaten
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar , packed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- For the topping:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter , melted
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar , packed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- powdered sugar , to serve
- maple syrup , to serve
Instructions
- Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Place the cubed bread into the baking dish, set aside.
- Place the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt into a large bowl. Whisk together well until combined. Some of the cinnamon may float on top, that’s okay.
- Pour the custard over the bread cubes. Take a large spoon and press the bread into the custard so it starts to soak it up. Cover the dish and place it in the fridge to soak for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a small bowl whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. Drizzle this all over the top of the casserole.
- Cover with tin foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool for 15 minutes, slice and serve with a dusting of powdered sugar and maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.
