Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Cut your brioche or challah bread into quarters, creating small squares. Press each piece into the greased muffin cups to form a cup shape.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Carefully pour the custard mixture over the bread cups, filling each cup to the brim. Lightly press down the bread with a fork.
  5. Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, rotating halfway through for even browning.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before loosening with a knife and lifting out.
