1 teaspoon of cinnamon, ground

2 teaspoons of vanilla
03 -
¼ cup white sugar
04 -
½ cup of rich cream
05 -
1 full cup of milk (whole)

4 large eggs

4 cups of stale bread, cubed into 1-inch pieces
→ Topping
08 -
2 tablespoons of butter, melted

¼ cup sugar
# Directions:
01 -
Slice your old bread into small cubes, about 1 inch, and keep it aside for later.
02 -
Combine cinnamon, vanilla, sugar, cream, milk, and eggs in a big bowl. Mix well until smooth.
03 -
Toss the bread cubes into the custard mix, making sure everything gets coated. Leave them for 10 minutes to soak up the flavors.
04 -
Turn your oven to 350°F and grease a muffin tin or use liners.
05 -
Spoon the soaked bread into the muffin cups and lightly press them in. Stir together sugar and cinnamon, pour the butter over the muffins, and then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mix on top.
06 -
Pop them in the oven for 20-25 minutes until they’re golden and firm. Let them cool down in the tin a bit before transferring them to a rack. They’re great warm, especially with maple syrup on top!
# Notes:
01 -
Make the mix the evening before to save time in the morning.
02 -
Switch up the spices by adding cardamom or nutmeg!
