Cook time: 50 min
Total time: 5 h
Yield: 6 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 loaf of French bread, preferably day-old, cut into 1-inch cubes; 6 large eggs; 2 cups whole milk; 1/2 cup heavy cream; 1/2 cup granulated sugar; 1 tablespoon vanilla extract; 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/2 cup packed brown sugar; 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes; Maple syrup, for serving; Fresh berries, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter. Arrange the bread cubes in the dish in an even layer.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes, making sure to coat them evenly. Press down gently on the bread to help it absorb the liquid. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
When you're ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature while the oven heats up.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cold butter. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the sugar until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the soaked bread cubes.
Bake the French toast in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle with maple syrup and garnish with fresh berries, if desired.
