Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound of day-old bread challah, brioche, or French
  • 2 cups of whole milk
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup of brown sugar
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup of granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Cut your bread into one-inch cubes and place them evenly in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and 1/2 cup of brown sugar until well combined. Pour this mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are soaked.
  • Gently toss the bread to make sure it's fully coated with the liquid. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight.
  • For the topping, combine the remaining brown sugar with granulated sugar in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Keep this in the fridge until you're ready to use it.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Take the casserole out of the fridge, remove the plastic wrap, and evenly sprinkle the sugar topping over the casserole.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Serve warm and enjoy!
