# Let's Cook!:
01 -
Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and set aside
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined

Add the bread cubes to the custard mixture, gently stirring to ensure all the bread is soaked. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to fully absorb the custard

Evenly divide the soaked bread mixture among the muffin cups, pressing down lightly to compact the mixture

In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Drizzle the melted butter over the top of each muffin, then generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature
