Ingredients
  

1 loaf of French bread (day-old is best)

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1/4 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin pan with non-stick spray or butter.

    Cut the French bread into small cubes (about 1-inch in size) and place them in a large mixing bowl.

      In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

        Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes and gently fold until all the bread is saturated. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak.

          In another small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to create a cinnamon sugar mixture.

            Using a muffin scoop or a spoon, fill each muffin cup with the soaked bread mixture until nearly full. Drizzle a spoonful of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of each muffin.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the muffins are puffed up and golden brown on top.

                Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

                  Serve warm, optionally dusting with powdered sugar or drizzling with maple syrup.
