Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a large oven-safe skillet (like a cast iron) with butter.
- Place cubed bread evenly in the skillet.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream (if using), maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt until well combined.
- Pour custard evenly over the bread. Gently press down to ensure bread absorbs the liquid.
- Let sit for 15–30 minutes or refrigerate overnight if preparing ahead.
- Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
- Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until golden brown and center is set.
- Cool for 5–10 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup before serving.
Notes
- Day-old or slightly stale bread absorbs custard best and prevents sogginess.
- For added texture, consider a streusel topping or chopped nuts.
- You can also bake this in a 9×13-inch dish if you don’t have an oven-safe skillet.
