A delightful twist on the classic breakfast dish, these muffins give you the comforting flavors of French toast in a portable form.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf French bread, cubed (about 6 cups)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- Place the cubed French bread in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes, stirring gently to coat all pieces. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to absorb.
- Divide the soaked bread evenly among the muffin cups, pressing down lightly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden and the custard is set.
