Ingredients

Scale

6 slices challah or brioche bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 large eggs
1 cup (240ml) whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp (45g) melted butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Add bread cubes to the egg mixture and stir gently until all pieces are coated. Let soak for 5–10 minutes.
Pour a bit of melted butter into each muffin cup. Then divide the bread mixture evenly among the cups, filling about ¾ full.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and set in the center. A toothpick should come out clean.
Let muffins cool for a few minutes in the tin before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or store for later!

Notes

Use stale bread for best results – it soaks up the custard better! Add a sprinkle of brown sugar or a handful of blueberries for extra flavor. Don’t overbake or they may dry out.
