Equipment

  • Baking Dish
  • Large Bowl
  • Microwave

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups half and half
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3 eggs beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 loaf brioche bread or challah bread day old, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 7 cups)

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl add half and half, butter, vanilla, sugar and salt. Microwave for about 1 minute, just until butter has melted.
  • Add the beaten eggs and cinnamon to the milk mixture and whisk well to combine.
  • Add the bread to the bowl and stir to coat. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish large enough to fit the mixture (any shallow casserole dish; I used a 8×11'' pan).
  • Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until custard is set but still a little wobbly and edges of bread have lightly browned.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature. Drizzle with vanilla cream sauce, if desired.
