Directions

Step 1: Soak bread

In a small bowl, combine Vanilla Bean Sugar and spice of choice. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, half and half, maple syrup, vanilla extract of choice, and 2 Tbsp. reserved sugar mixture until smooth. Add bread and stir to fully coat. Cover and chill overnight or at least 4 hours.

Step 2: Scoop & bake

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Thoroughly brush cups of a muffin tin with about 2 Tbsp. butter. Sprinkle cups with about 2 Tbsp. reserved sugar mixture, turning pan to fully coat sides. Divide bread mixture between cups, filling each to the top. Brush tops with remaining 2 Tbsp. butter and sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture. Bake for 25 min. until puffed and golden brown. Cool for 5 min. in pan before serving.
