  • 9x13 pan
  • Large bowl

Ingredients
  

Breading Ingredients

  • 10 cups cubed Orange Cranberry Bread (or plain brioche works!)
  • 3 XL eggs whisked
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 ¼ cup milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon orange extract
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest
  • 1 cup dried cranberries (if not using orange cranberry bread)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted melted butter

Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F, rack in the middle. Coat a 9×13” pan with cooking spray, set aside.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, orange zest and sugars until well blended. Add in the cream, milk, and orange extract mixing until combined. Add in the orange juice, salt, and cinnamon. Mix until blended.
  • Add the 10 cups of cubed Orange Cranberry bread (if using regular brioche add that with the cranberries). Gently mix to coat all items. Allow to set for 10 minutes in the bowl.
  • Carefully dump the mixture into the coated pan gently pressing down. It’ll all fit.
  • Drizzle the melted butter overtop and bake for 25-35 minutes or until golden brown and the middle has just a slight jiggle. You do not want it to fully set – it will set as it cools down.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes. I prefer to let it rest for 30 minutes before serving.
  • Serve with your favorite syrup, a dusting of cinnamon sugar or Maple Butter Cream Sauce.

Notes

For best results, allow to cool before serving to enhance flavors.
