How to Make Egg Dish

  1. The night before: In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Cut 1 loaf (about 1 pound) of challah bread or brioche into 1-inch cubes. Gently toss the bread cubes in the egg mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the bread soak up the custard for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter.
  4. Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  5. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Top with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup (optional).
