Ingredients
Scale
1 loaf of challah or brioche bread, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 8 cups)
6 large eggs
2 cups of milk (whole milk or almond milk for a dairy-free option)
1 cup of heavy cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free substitute)
¾ cup of granulated sugar
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon of nutmeg (optional)
Pinch of salt
Butter, for greasing the dish
Maple syrup, fresh berries, or powdered sugar for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
Place the cubed bread in the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cubed bread, gently pressing down to ensure all pieces are coated. Avoid overmixing.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight.
Remove the casserole from the fridge, uncover it, and bake for about 45-50 minutes until the top is golden and puffed.
Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. Drizzle with maple syrup and top with fresh berries.
