Ingredients
-
6 cups cubed day-old bread (like brioche or French bread)
-
4 large eggs
-
1 cup milk
-
1/4 cup heavy cream
-
1/4 cup maple syrup (plus more for serving)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon
-
1/4 tsp salt
-
Butter or nonstick spray (for greasing the muffin tin)
-
Optional toppings: powdered sugar, fresh berries, chopped nuts
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or nonstick spray.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
-
Add the cubed bread to the bowl and gently stir to coat all the pieces. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes so the bread soaks up the mixture.
-
Divide the soaked bread evenly into the muffin cups, pressing down gently.
-
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and slightly crisp.
-
Let the muffin cups cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan.
-
Serve warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
-
Use slightly stale bread for best texture—it holds up better when soaked.
-
You can prep the mixture the night before and bake in the morning.
-
Try adding chocolate chips, raisins, or diced apples for extra flavor.
