Ingredients

4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 loaf challah, about 1 pound, chopped into 1-inch cubes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
Add the challah cubes and walnuts. Stir to coat evenly.
Place the mixture in the greased baking dish and press down lightly.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake for 25-30 more minutes or until golden brown and set.

Notes

Slice it yourself: Starting with an unsliced loaf of bread is best, so you can control the thickness of the cubes.

Make it stale: Stale bread will soak up the custard and rehydrate without becoming overly soggy. If your bread is still fresh, cube it and let it sit out uncovered for a few hours to dry out.

Cover it up: Make sure and bake this covered at first so the top doesn't burn!
