Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher sea salt
- 6 cups dried cubed bread (white, challah, brioche, croissants or cinnamon raisin)
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the dried cubed bread to the mixture and gently stir until all the bread is well coated. Let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the liquid.
- While the bread is soaking, prepare the topping. In a small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Spoon the bread mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over each muffin.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and set.
- Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use day-old bread for best results.
- You can add raisins or nuts for extra texture and flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
