  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange the cubed bread in the dish. If using stale bread, lightly toast the cubes for 5-7 minutes to enhance texture.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, cooled espresso or coffee, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. Stir in coffee liqueur if using.
  3. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes. Gently press down to ensure all bread is soaked. Let soak for at least 30 minutes, up to 1 hour.
  4. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking 15-20 minutes until custard is set and top is golden. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs.
