Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf (1 pound) challah or brioche bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. Place bread cubes in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes.
  4. Gently press the bread cubes down to ensure they are soaked.
  5. Scatter the diced apples and pecans (if using) over the top.
  6. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  8. Bake, uncovered, for 40-50 minutes, or until the French toast is golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Let it cool slightly before serving.
  10. Serve warm with maple syrup.

Notes

  • For a stronger apple flavor, you can sauté the diced apples with a tablespoon of butter and a pinch of cinnamon before adding them to the bake.
  • If you don’t have challah or brioche, a sturdy white bread will also work.
  • Adjust the amount of cinnamon and nutmeg to your preference.
