A heartwarming dessert made by soaking stale bread in a rich custard mixture, creating a comforting treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 cups stale bread, torn into pieces
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

  3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until frothy.
  4. Pour the custard mixture over the bread pieces, gently folding to ensure all are soaked.
