Ingredients

Scale

Bread

For this recipe, use 1 loaf of brioche or challah bread, cut into thick slices. These types of bread are ideal because they absorb the custard mixture well while providing a soft texture.

Eggs

You will need 6 large eggs. Eggs provide structure and richness to the custard base, ensuring that each slice of bread is flavorful and satisfying.

Heavy Cream

Use 2 cups of heavy cream. The cream adds a luxurious texture and richness that is essential for achieving that crème brûlée taste.

Milk

Incorporate 1 cup of whole milk. Milk helps balance the heaviness of the cream while still keeping the custard mixture creamy.

Sugar

Add 3/4 cup of granulated sugar. Sugar sweetens the custard and caramelizes on top when broiling, creating that classic crunchy layer associated with crème brûlée.

Vanilla Extract

Include 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract for flavor. Vanilla enhances the overall taste profile and brings warmth to each bite.

Cinnamon

A sprinkle of 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon adds warmth and depth to the flavor. Cinnamon complements the sweetness without overpowering it.
