Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 loaf Brioche bread staled, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 6 large Eggs
- 2 cups Milk whole milk recommended
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg ground
- Butter for greasing the baking dish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter.
- Arrange the bread cubes evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are soaked.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight, to allow the bread to soak up the custard.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed, golden brown, and set in the center. If it starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh berries.
Notes
For an extra decadent casserole, add a sprinkle of brown sugar and a few pats of butter on top before baking.
