Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 8 eggs (beaten)
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 loaf challah bread (torn into large pieces (approx. 5-6 cups))
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)

Instruction

  • Combine eggs, half and half, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in large mixing bowl. Add challah bread pieces, gently stirring to coat bread with egg mixture. Pour into a lightly greased 10" square pan and set aside.
  • Melt butter and brown sugar in a small sauce pan over medium heat until combined with a smooth texture, about 5-7 minutes. Pour evenly over bread then wrap tightly with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator overnight.
  • Remove casserole from refrigerator, uncover and allow to rest for about 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees then bake for about 30-35 minutes until eggs are set and it's hot and bubbly (place aluminum foil on top if bread browns to quickly). Enjoy!
