Ingredients

  • 8 ounces day-old French bread, unsliced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon maple extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups 2% milk

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Freshly grated nutmeg, optional
  • Fresh raspberries or blueberries
  • Confectioners' sugar

Directions

  • 1. Cut bread into 1-in.-thick slices. Arrange in a single layer in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Lightly beat next 6 ingredients; stir in milk and cream. Pour egg mixture over bread, turning once to coat. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.
