Ingredients:
- For the French Toast:
- 1 loaf (14 to 16 ounces) French bread, brioche, or challah, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- For the Streusel Topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions:
- Preparation:
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Arrange the bread cubes evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Custard Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes, making sure all the bread is coated.
- Gently press down on the bread to help it absorb the custard.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the bread to soak up the custard.
- Prepare the Streusel Topping:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the cold butter pieces and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the chopped nuts, if using.
- Cover and refrigerate the streusel topping until ready to use.
