Ingredients:

French Toast Muffins

• 1 loaf of brioche bread
• 8 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Brown Sugar Cinnamon Topping

• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tbsp light brown sugar
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp salt

For Serving

• Maple syrup

Start by cutting the brioche loaf into cubes and placing them on a wire rack set over a cookie sheet. Bake the cubes at 300°F for 8 minutes on each side, or alternatively, leave them out overnight to dry.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth and well-blended. Add the dried bread cubes to the mixture and gently fold them in until coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or leave overnight to let the custard fully absorb into the bread.

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick spray. Fill each muffin cup with the soaked bread mixture.

To make the topping, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Evenly spoon the topping over each muffin cup. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins reach your preferred level of crispiness.

Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before taking them out of the pan. If making more, repeat these steps for the next batch. Top with maple syrup and enjoy!
