Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 23cm square baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Add cubed French bread to the custard mixture and gently fold to coat. Allow to soak for about 20 minutes.
  4. Spread the soaked bread mixture evenly in the prepared baking pan and bake for approximately 55 minutes until golden.
