Main Ingredients
- 4 slices bread, cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until well combined, creating a flavorful custard base.
- Combine with Bread: Add the cubed bread to the custard mixture and gently stir, ensuring all bread pieces are thoroughly coated.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the bread mixture evenly into each cup of the prepared muffin tin, distributing equally for consistent baking.
- Top with Butter: Drizzle melted butter over the top of each muffin to encourage a golden and crispy finish during baking.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the muffins are puffed, golden brown, and crispy on top.
- Serve: Allow muffins to cool slightly before serving warm, optionally dusting with additional cinnamon sugar for an extra sweet touch.
Notes
- Use slightly stale bread for best texture as it soaks up the custard better without becoming mushy.
- Feel free to use whole milk or a milk alternative based on preference or dietary needs.
- You can add raisins or chopped nuts to the mixture for extra flavor and texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat before serving.
- Sprinkling a bit of powdered sugar or drizzling maple syrup before serving enhances sweetness.
