Ingredients

• 2 slices Thick-sliced bread (preferably brioche or challah)
• 1 Large egg
• 0.33 cups Milk (whole or 2%)
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Butter (for greasing)
• 1 teaspoon Powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a small oven-safe ramekin or baking dish with 0.5 teaspoons of butter.

Step 3

Cut the bread slices into cubes (roughly 1-inch pieces) and place them into the prepared ramekin. Set aside.

Step 4

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.

Step 5

Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing down gently with a spoon or fork to ensure all the bread is soaked in the liquid.

Step 6

Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.

Step 7

Place the ramekin on a baking sheet to catch any drips, then bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Optional: Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup for extra sweetness.
