Total Time 55 minutes
Servings 12 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf crusty day-old bread (About 13-16 oz)
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 tbs vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Lightly grease a 9 x 13 baking dish and preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Coarsely chop the bread into 1 inch cubes, or rip into pieces of about that size. Place in the baking dish.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk, heavy cream, both sugars, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Pour mixture over bread. If you'd like to cook it now, let it stand for 15 minutes more before baking. Otherwise, cover and refrigerate until you're ready to bake.
  • Bake until golden and the top is just beginning to crisp up, about 45 minutes. Can be cooked longer if you'd like a more crisp texture.
  • Serve with authentic maple syrup and enjoy!
