Description
A simple and quick dessert made with stale bread soaked in a creamy custard, baked to golden perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups of bread cubes
- 2 cups of milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- Caramel sauce (for serving)
- Ice cream (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Place the bread cubes in a greased baking dish and pour the custard mixture over the bread, ensuring all pieces are soaked.
- Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to absorb the custard.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Serve warm topped with caramel sauce or ice cream.
Notes
Preheating gives even bake and a nice crust. Whisking well mixes sugar into the liquid so it melts and sweetens evenly. Letting the bread sit helps the center cook through without drying. Check with a knife to avoid underbaked custard.
