Ingredients

For the Muffins:

  • 6 cups cubed day-old bread (brioche or challah preferred)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
  • Stir in the cubed bread, ensuring all pieces are coated. Let the mixture soak for 10 minutes.
  • Divide the bread mixture into the greased muffin cups, pressing gently to pack.

Notes

  • Use day-old bread for the best texture.
  • For added flavor, incorporate fresh fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips into the mixture.
