Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 slices brioche bread stale, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups milk whole milk recommended
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted, plus more for greasing
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin generously with butter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.
- Add the cubed brioche bread to the egg mixture and gently toss to coat each piece. Let it soak for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bread has absorbed most of the liquid.
- Spoon the bread mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are puffed up, golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before carefully removing them. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Notes
These can be made ahead and reheated gently in the oven or microwave. They are also delicious served at room temperature.
