Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf of French bread (preferably a day or two old)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well blended.
- Slice the French bread into thick pieces and arrange in a greased baking dish. Pour the custard mixture over the bread and let soak, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
