Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf (16 ounces) cinnamon swirl bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • For the Topping:
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Spread the bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and let them dry out slightly, about 30 minutes, or toast them in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 10-15 minutes until lightly crisp.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add the dried bread cubes to the egg mixture and gently toss to coat. Let the bread soak for at least 15 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  5. Pour the bread and egg mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  6. In a separate small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon for the topping. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the bread mixture in the baking dish.
  8. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed, golden brown, and set in the center.
  9. Let it cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use challah or brioche bread instead of cinnamon swirl bread.
  • If soaking overnight, ensure the baking dish is covered tightly with plastic wrap.
  • Serve warm with your favorite syrup or whipped cream.
