French Toast Bake

Ingredients

• 1 loaf Brioche bread (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 8 Eggs
• 2 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Butter (melted)
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 1 cup Flour
• 1 tsp Cinnamon (for topping)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

2. 2

   Place the cubed brioche bread into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon until well combined.

4. 4

   Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Press down gently with a spatula to help the bread absorb the liquid.

5. 5

   In a separate small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, flour, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to create the crumble topping. Mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.

6. 6

   Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the soaked bread.

7. 7

   Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, you can assemble the dish the night before and let it soak in the refrigerator overnight before baking in the morning.
