Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices Brioche or Challah Bread (Substitute with gluten-free bread for a gluten-free option.)
  • 4 large Eggs (Replace with a flaxseed mixture for a vegan option.)
  • 1 cup Whole Milk (Consider almond or oat milk for a dairy-free result.)
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream (Use half-and-half or omit for a lighter version.)

  • 1 pinch Salt (Balances sweetness and enhances overall flavor.)
  • 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar (Sprinkled on top to create the irresistible caramelized crust.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the brioche or challah bread into 1-inch thick pieces and arrange in a greased baking dish.

  3. Pour the custard over the arranged bread slices, gently press down to soak, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  4. Remove from the refrigerator, let sit for 10 minutes. Ensure oven is preheated to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the custard is set. Optionally, broil for 2-3 minutes for a crispy top.
  6. Sprinkle granulated sugar over the top and caramelize using a kitchen torch or under the broiler. Watch closely to prevent burning.
