ingredients
- 1 loaf brioche bread
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups half and half
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoo salt
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Begin by buttering a 9x13 casserole dish.
Step 2
Chop the bread slices into approximately 1 inch cubes. These do not have to be perfect, just give them a rough chop into small squares. Place the chopped cubes into the casserole dish.
Step 3
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together 4 eggs. In a large bowl, whisk together the cinnamon and sugar. Add in half and half, heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk again to blend really well.
Step 4
Pour the custard mixture over the bread in the casserole dish. Take a spoon and give the bread a gentle toss to make sure all of the bread is soaked in the liquid.
Step 5
Optional: Top with a little more cinnamon sugar mixture if you like it really sweet. I use ⅛ cup white sugar mixed with ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Bake in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes on a middle rack, not too close to the top burner.
Step 6
After it is baked, allow the casserole to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before adding powdered sugar, and maple syrup. YUMMMMMY!
