Ingredients

• 8 slices gluten-free bread
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 cup fresh berries (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter, making sure to coat all sides evenly.

Step 3

Layer the gluten-free bread slices in the prepared dish, overlapping slightly if necessary.

Step 4

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices, pressing down lightly to ensure all pieces are coated and soaking in the custard.

Step 6

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard. This can also be refrigerated overnight for easier preparation in the morning.

Step 7

Remove the plastic wrap and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Drizzle with maple syrup and dust with powdered sugar before serving. Add fresh berries on top if desired.
