Ingredients
- 6 cups stale bread, cubed
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup raisins or chopped nuts (optional)
- Powdered sugar for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Bread: In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread and optional raisins or nuts. Set aside.
- Make the Custard: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Combine: Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes, gently folding to ensure all the bread is soaked. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the liquid.
- Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and enjoy warm.
