Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf brioche bread (14 ounces)
- 6 large eggs
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch fine sea salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup salted butter (softened)
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Butter or grease two standard 12 cup muffin pans, and set them aside (or use liners).
- Cut the brioche bread into ½-inch cubes and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt until combined and smooth.
- Whisk in the heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Pour the egg and milk mixture over the cubed bread. Stir until all pieces are soaked thoroughly.
- Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to absorb the liquid.
- Using a measuring cup, portion ¼ cup of the mixture into each muffin tin well (about 20 muffins total).
- Cover muffin pans tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
Notes
For maximum flavor, let the muffin mixture sit overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
Feel free to look for alternative bread options if preferred, but brioche provides a rich flavor.
You can serve these muffins with syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream for added taste.
