How to Make French Toast Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 11x7x2-inch glass baking dish with butter.
  2. Tear 1 loaf (about 1 pound) of challah bread or brioche into 1-inch pieces. Arrange evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together: 6 large eggs, 1 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all pieces are moistened. Gently press down with a spatula to submerge the bread.
  5. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  6. Refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
  7. Place the foil-covered baking dish in the cold oven.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes covered.
  9. Remove the foil and continue baking for 35-40 minutes, or until the pudding is puffed, golden brown, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving. Spoon the bread pudding onto plates, sprinkle with 1/4 cup toasted pecans or walnuts (optional), and drizzle generously with warm maple syrup.
