Ingredients

• 8 slices bread, preferably day-old
• 6 large eggs
• 2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
3. Cut the bread into cubes and evenly distribute them in the prepared baking dish.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs until well beaten. Add milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt, whisking until fully combined.
5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing down gently to ensure all pieces are soaked.
6. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight to allow the bread to absorb the custard mixture.
7. When ready to bake, remove the dish from the refrigerator and let it sit for 10 minutes at room temperature.
8. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
9. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
10. Serve warm with maple syrup and a light dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
