Ingredients

  • 2 cups cubed stale bread Use whatever you’ve got!
  • 2 Tbsp butter, 1 Tbsp melted
  • 1 cup milk or cream or half and half
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 dash ground cinnamon
  • 1 little dash ground nutmeg

Instructions

  • Butter a 9x9 baking dish with about 1 Tbsp butter.
  • Melt the other Tbsp butter and let it cool slightly, then add milk, egg, sugar, and spices. Whisk together.
  • Cube your leftover stale bread, croissants, etc. and put in the buttered pan. Pour the milk and egg mixture over the bread cubes, cover and refrigerate a few hours. Pull out about 45 minutes before you want to bake so the pan can warm up. Press down on the bread cubes with a spatula so the cubes can soak up all the custard.
  • Put the pan in the oven and heat to 350 F. (You don’t want to put a cold pan in a hot oven.) Bake uncovered 30-45 minutes. Let cool slightly then cut and serve with more butter, maple syrup, etc.
