Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf soft bread (brioche or challah)

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons butter

Instructions
- Prep the bread: Cut your bread into bite-sized cubes, about 1-inch in size.
- Make the custard: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth.
- Soak the bread: Gently add the bread cubes to the custard and let them soak for about 10-15 minutes.
- Heat the skillet: In a non-stick skillet, melt a pat of butter over medium heat.

Letting the bread absorb the custard ensures a fluffy outcome. Do not overcrowd the skillet.
