Ingredients
6 slices of thick bread (brioche or challah preferred)
3 large eggs
1 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Butter or nonstick spray (for greasing the pan)

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
2. Cut the bread into small cubes and divide evenly among the muffin cups.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing down gently to help absorb the custard.
5. Let sit for 5–10 minutes to soak.

7. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before removing from the pan.

Add chocolate chips, raisins, or nuts for variation.
Can be made ahead and reheated for busy mornings.
