Ingredients

• 1 loaf Challah bread (or brioche)
• 8 large Eggs
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for crumble topping)
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour (for crumble topping)
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar (for crumble topping)
• 0.25 cups Cold unsalted butter (for crumble topping)
• 0 Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
• 0 Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Cut the challah bread into 1-inch cubes and spread evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring each piece is soaked. Gently press down with a spatula to absorb the liquid. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

To make the crumble topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the soaked bread mixture.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
