Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf of bread (preferably brioche or challah)
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups milk

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Butter for greasing
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with butter to prevent the bread from sticking.

- Whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bread, ensuring all pieces are well-coated.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown and puffed.
- Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
Use stale bread for best results. Cover the dish while refrigerating to prevent skin formation. This can be made ahead of time, making breakfast stress-free.
