# What You'll Need:

→ For the Cups

01 - 1 loaf Brioche or Challah bread, cut into quarters (may substitute with thick-cut white or cinnamon raisin bread)

→ Sweet Custard

02 - 4 large eggs
03 - 1 cup whole milk (can substitute with almond, oat, or soy milk)
04 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or sugar substitute, adjusted to taste)
05 - 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
06 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
07 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin.
02 - Cut the bread loaf into quarters and gently press pieces into each well of the muffin tin to create a base.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until fully combined.
04 - Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread pieces in each muffin cup, pressing lightly to help the bread absorb the liquid.
05 - Bake in the oven for 22-25 minutes, rotating the tin halfway through to ensure even browning.
06 - Let French toast cups cool in the tin for several minutes before removing. Serve warm.

# Notes:

01 - For vegan preparation, substitute the eggs with flax or chia seed mixture and use plant-based milk.
02 - Adjust sweetness by reducing sugar or using a sugar alternative as desired.
