👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the base
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
Spread the brioche cubes evenly in a greased baking dish.
2️⃣ Make the custard
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, half & half, heavy cream, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt.
3️⃣ Soak the bread
Pour the mixture evenly over the bread.
Gently press down so the bread absorbs all the liquid.
4️⃣ Add butter & bake
Drizzle melted butter over the top.
Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden and set in the center.
5️⃣ Serve & enjoy
Dust with powdered sugar, add fresh fruit, and drizzle with maple syrup before serving.
🔥 Tip: For extra flavor, prepare it the night before and refrigerate overnight — it will taste even better!
