Ingredients
- 1 loaf brioche (or challah, or French bread), cut into 1-inch cubes
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
- Spread the bread cubes evenly in the prepared dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, pressing the bread down lightly so it absorbs the liquid.
- Drizzle melted butter over the top.
- Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.
- Bake uncovered for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
