French Toast Cups

Delicious and visually appealing French toast cups made with brioche, perfect for breakfast or brunch gatherings.

INSTRUCTIONS

1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a standard muffin tin with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2 Cut each slice of bread into quarters.
3 Press 3 to 4 bread pieces into each muffin cup, forming a cup shape to hold the custard mixture.
4 In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
5 Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cups in the muffin tin, allowing it to soak in thoroughly.
6 Press down the bread pieces to make sure they absorb the custard completely, forming a compact cup shape.
7 Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the cups are puffed, golden brown, and set in the center.
8 Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the French toast cups to cool slightly before carefully removing them from the tins.
9 Serve the French toast cups warm, topped with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh berries as desired.
