Baked French Toast With Brioche

🧂 Ingredients

• 6 eggs

  medium-sized
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1 loaf brioche

  cut in 1-inch cubes, about 4 cups
• 2 tbsp butter

  to grease the casserole dish
• 1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

• 1 In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs by hand with a fork or whisk or with an
  electric mixer until you have a smooth consistency.
• 2 Add the maple syrup, heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon,
  melted butter, and eggs to create the custard mixture.
• 3 Cut the stale brioche loaf into 1-inch cubes.
• 4 Grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish and transfer the brioche bread cubes into it.
  Spread them evenly.
• 5 Pour the custard mixture into the prepared baking dish over the top and cover
  the dish with plastic wrap or aluminium foil and refrigerate overnight. This
  allows the flavors to meld, and the bread to soak up the custard thoroughly.
• 6 The next morning, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
• 7 Sprinkle the brown sugar in top of the casserole and cover it with aluminum foil
  for the first 30 minutes of baking. Then, uncover and bake for an additional
  15-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
