  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Maple syrup (for serving)
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Cube the bread and place it evenly in the dish, ensuring all sides are nicely arranged.
  2. Whisk Together Custard: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Soak the Bread: Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes, making sure all pieces are soaked thoroughly. You can gently press them down with a spatula to ensure they all get some love!
  4. Chill Overnight: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, allowing the bread to absorb the mixture and flavors to develop beautifully.
  5. Preheat the Oven: When you wake up and the aroma of breakfast beckons, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Bake the Casserole: Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Your kitchen will start to fill with that divine scent!
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired. Sit back and watch your loved ones dig in and share delightful smiles!

Notes

Make sure to choose quality bread; brioche or challah works best for a rich flavor. It’s also customizable with various add-ins like fruits or nuts.
