Ingredients List:

For the Muffins:

4 cups day-old bread, cubed
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp melted butter

Step-by-Step Instructions (Detailed):

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking. 🧁

Step 2: Prepare the Custard Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth.

Step 3: Add Bread
Gently fold cubed bread into the custard mixture. Let it soak for 5 minutes so it absorbs all the liquid.

Step 4: Fill Muffin Tin
Divide soaked bread mixture evenly into muffin cups. Press lightly to compact each muffin for even baking.

Step 5: Bake
Bake for 25–30 minutes until tops are golden and set in the center. ⏰

Step 6: Make the Topping
Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

Step 7: Finish the Muffins
Brush each muffin with melted butter immediately after baking, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Step 8: Serve
Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy on its own or drizzle with maple syrup for extra sweetness. 🍁

Pro Tips:

Make Ahead: Prepare the custard-soaked bread the night before for a quick morning bake.
Bread Swap: Use brioche or challah for a richer, fluffier texture.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven for a fresh-baked feel.
