Name: Overnight Cinnamon French Toast Bake
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 50 min
Total time: 1 h 10 min
Cuisine: French
Ingredients: 2 tbsp butter, softened, for the dish; 1 lb brioche or challah, cut into 1-inch cubes, slightly stale; 8 large eggs; 2 cups whole milk; 1 cup heavy cream; 1/3 cup maple syrup, plus more to serve; 2 tsp vanilla extract; 2 tsp ground cinnamon, divided; 1/4 tsp salt; 1/3 cup light brown sugar; 3 tbsp all-purpose flour; 3 tbsp cold butter, cubed

Steps

Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and spread the bread cubes in it.
Whisk the eggs, milk, cream, maple syrup, vanilla, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cinnamon and the salt until smooth. Pour evenly over the bread, pressing the cubes down so they soak.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Heat the oven to 350°F and let the dish sit at room temperature while it heats.
Rub the brown sugar, flour, remaining cinnamon and cold butter together with your fingertips into a crumbly topping and scatter it over the bread.
Bake until puffed, golden and set in the center (a knife inserted in the middle comes out without liquid custard), 45 to 50 minutes.
Rest 10 minutes before cutting. Serve with extra maple syrup.
