Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 loaf French bread (I also routinely use a loaf of Texas Toast)
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (half and half would work too)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cut into small squares)

Instruction

  • Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray and preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, add the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. 
  • Chop the bread into 3/4 - 1 inch cubes and put it in the bowl with the egg mixture and toss well until all the liquid is absorbed.
  • In a small bowl or a food processor add the flour, remaining brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt and mix. 
  • Cut in the butter with a fork or pulse in the food processor for 5-10 seconds or until the butter and brown sugar mixture is crumbly.
  • Pour the bread and egg mixture into the pan, cover evenly with the brown sugar-butter topping and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is crispy and the center is no longer wet.
