Instructions

Butter or grease two standard 12 cup muffin pans and set aside (or use liners).
Cut bread into ½” cubes and transfer to a large bowl.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt until smooth.
Whisk in cream, milk, and vanilla into the mixture.
Pour the egg and milk mixture over the bread pieces in the large bowl and stir until the bread absorbs the liquid.
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
Use a measuring cup to add ¼ cup portions of the bread mixture into each well of the prepared muffin tins (will yield about 20 muffins).
Cover the muffin pans tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

Notes

For a sweeter muffin, increase the sugar content slightly.
Feel free to add fruit or nuts into the mixture for extra flavor.
These muffins can be made ahead and stored in the fridge before baking.
