→ For the Sweet Topping
08 -
2 tablespoons butter, melted
09 -
1/4 cup sugar
10 -
1 teaspoon cinnamon
# Instructions:
01 -
Cut up your old bread into roughly 1-inch pieces. Toss them in a bowl to keep handy.
02 -
Grab a big bowl and whisk together eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Stir until smooth and blended.
03 -
Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes and mix gently so everything gets soaked. Set aside for 10 minutes to let the bread soak it all up.
04 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your muffin pan or line it with paper cups.
05 -
Evenly distribute the custard-soaked bread among the muffin tin spots. Press each one down gently to pack them in.
06 -
In a tiny bowl, stir your cinnamon with the sugar. Drizzle melted butter over each muffin, then top generously with the cinnamon sugar mix.
07 -
Put them in the oven for 20-25 minutes. They're ready when they look golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
08 -
Let the muffins sit in the pan for a little while before moving them to a cooling rack. They're great warm or at room temp—try adding maple syrup!
# Notes:
01 -
You can prep the custard and soak the bread a day ahead to save time.
02 -
Spice it up with things like cardamom or nutmeg to change the flavor profile.
03 -
Add some powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream for a fancier touch.
