Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Small bowl
  • 9x13-inch casserole dish
  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 12 cups sourdough, French bread, Brioche, or Challah cut into 1-inch squares
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Topping:

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 stick of butter cut into small dice
  • ½ cup powdered sugar mixed with 2 tablespoons milk for glazing

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon.
  • Cut the bread into one inch squares and toss into the egg mixture until all the squares are soaked in it. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Make the topping: in a small bowl combine the flour, brown sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cut the butter into the sugar mixture until it resembles sand.
