Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 9x13 inch baking dish
  • 1 measuring cup set
  • 1 measuring spoon set
  • 1 Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cup cubed day-old bread
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  • Add the cubed bread to the bowl and gently mix until the bread is fully soaked.
  • Stir in the chopped pecans.
  • Grease the baking dish with the melted butter.
  • Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, use day-old bread as it absorbs the custard mixture more effectively, giving you a richer texture. You can also add a splash of bourbon or a handful of raisins for additional flavor. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an indulgent treat.
