Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 loaf challah, about 1 pound, chopped into 1-inch cubes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the challah cubes and walnuts. Stir to coat evenly.
- Place the mixture in the greased baking dish and press down lightly.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake for 25-30 more minutes or until golden brown and set.
Notes
- Slice it yourself: Starting with an unsliced loaf of bread is best, so you can control the thickness of the cubes.
- Make it stale: Stale bread will soak up the custard and rehydrate without becoming overly soggy. If your bread is still fresh, cube it and let it sit out uncovered for a few hours to dry out.
- Cover it up: Make sure and bake this covered at first so the top doesn't burn!
