Description

Delightfully soft and custardy French Toast Muffins made with cubed brioche or challah bread soaked in a sweet cinnamon-spiced egg mixture, baked to golden perfection. Perfect for breakfast or brunch, these muffins can be served warm with maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cubed day-old brioche or challah bread
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Nonstick cooking spray or butter for greasing muffin pan
  • Optional toppings: powdered sugar or maple syrup for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray or butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Fill muffin cups with bread: Divide the cubed day-old brioche or challah bread evenly among the muffin cups, pressing lightly to fill each cavity without compacting too much.
  3. Mix custard mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, granulated sugar, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  4. Soak bread: Slowly pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes in each muffin cup, ensuring that all pieces are well soaked and coated with the custard.
  5. Rest the mixture: Allow the muffins to rest at room temperature for 5 minutes so the bread absorbs the liquid fully, creating a custardy texture.
  6. Bake the muffins: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins have puffed up, are set in the center, and lightly golden on top.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool slightly in the pan before serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup.

Notes

  • Use slightly stale bread for best absorption and texture.
  • Try adding mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or berries to the bread mixture for extra flavor and texture.
  • Serve warm for the best taste experience.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container and reheated gently before serving.
