Calories: 585kcal
Equipment
- 3 qt casserole dish
Ingredients
- 14 ounces Brioche bread day-old
- 6 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch ground nutmeg
- Pinch kosher salt
- powdered sugar for dusting on top
- SERVE WITH butter syrup, whipped cream, fresh fruit
Instructions
- Spray a 3-quart baking dish with non-stick spray (or grease with butter) and set it aside.
- Cut the bread into cubes, and evenly distribute them in the pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Pour the mixture evenly over the bread, pressing down to ensure every piece is soaked.
- Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and take off the plastic wrap.
- Bake it for 45-60 minutes, until golden brown and baked through. Serve with syrup and fresh fruit, if desired.
Notes
- Use day-old brioche as fresh bread can turn out a little mushy, but day-old bread is perfect for absorbing the egg mixture without falling apart.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
