Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
Cut the bread into quarters and press each piece into the muffin cups to form a cup shape.
Whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Pour the custard mixture over the bread cups and let them sit for about 5 minutes.
Bake the cups for 22-25 minutes until golden-brown around the edges.

Notes

For best results, grease the muffin tin well and allow soaking time for the bread without becoming soggy. These cups are best served fresh with syrup or toppings of choice.
