Instructions

Butter or grease two standard 12 cup muffin pans and set aside, or use liners.
Cut the brioche bread into ½” cubes and place in a large mixing bowl.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of fine sea salt until smooth.
Whisk in the whole milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
Pour the egg and milk mixture over the bread cubes in the large bowl, stirring until the bread absorbs the liquid.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
Using a measuring cup, portion out ¼ cup of the bread mixture into each well of the prepared muffin tins (this recipe will make about 20 muffins).
Cover the muffin pans tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

Notes

For best results, refrigerate the muffin pans overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
Experiment with toppings like fresh berries or syrup for added flavor.
Adjust the sweetness to your taste by varying the amount of sugar used.
