How to Make Baked Cinnamon Bread Custard

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Arrange 6-8 slices of bread (challah, brioche, or Texas toast work well) in a double layer in the prepared pan.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 2 large egg yolks, and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and frothy.
  4. Gradually whisk in 2 cups whole milk, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon orange zest (optional).
  5. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all slices are moistened.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the custard is set.
  7. Let cool slightly before dusting generously with powdered sugar.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy! Top with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of honey for extra deliciousness.
