Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tbsp unsalted butter. Place 6 cups of day-old brioche bread cubes evenly in the dish.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 2 cups whole milk, 1 cup cooled brewed drip coffee, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tsp pure vanilla extract, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Step 3: Pour the egg and coffee mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing lightly with a spatula to ensure bread absorbs the liquid. Drizzle 1 tbsp melted unsalted butter on top.
  4. Step 4: Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered an additional 15 minutes until the top is golden and the custard is set.
  5. Step 5: Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with maple syrup drizzled on top.
