Ingredients
- ½ a loaf of french bread (about 8 oz) cut into cubes
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 6 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon divided
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar for topping
- powdered sugar for topping optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees and prepare a 13×9 inch baking pan by buttering it.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then stir in the brown sugar until dissolved and smooth. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Evenly distribute the bread cubes over the brown sugar and butter mixture in the pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon until well combined. Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring they are fully soaked.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar on top of the casserole.
- Bake the casserole for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Allow it to cool slightly before serving, and sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
