Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
Add the cubed bread to the bowl and gently stir to coat evenly. Let sit for 5–10 minutes to absorb the liquid.
Spoon the soaked bread mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, pressing down slightly to compact.
Drizzle melted butter over the tops of the muffin cups.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and set in the center.
Let cool slightly before removing from the tin. Dust with powdered sugar or serve with maple syrup if desired.

Notes

Use slightly stale bread for best texture.
Can be made ahead and reheated in the microwave or oven.
Customize with add-ins like berries, chocolate chips, or nuts.
