Instructions

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