Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf of brioche or French bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup brown sugar for topping
- Optional: fresh berries or whipped cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
- Cut the bread into thick slices and arrange them in the dish.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the custard mixture over the bread, ensuring they’re thoroughly coated.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight.
- Remove from the refrigerator, sprinkle brown sugar on top, and bake for about 35-40 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving, optionally garnish with fresh berries or whipped cream.
Notes
For maximum flavor, let the bread soak overnight. A kitchen torch works best for caramelizing the sugar on top.
