Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups of day-old bread, cubed (such as brioche or challah)
- 2 cups of mixed wild berries (fresh or frozen)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups of whole milk
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Combine Bread and Berries: In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread and mixed wild berries. Gently toss to combine.
- Make the Custard Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, salt, orange zest, and orange juice until well blended.
