Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf brioche, challah, or French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  • Spread the bread cubes evenly in the prepared baking 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 the melted butter over the top of the casserole.
  • Let the casserole sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.

Baking

  • Bake uncovered for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
  • Serve warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh berries.

Notes

  • For best results, allow the bread to soak for 20-30 minutes if possible.
  • Consider adding fresh or frozen berries for extra flavor.
