Step‑by‑Step Instructions for French Toast Cups
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Cut brioche or challah bread into quarters and press each piece into the greased muffin cup to form a cup shape.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined and frothy.
  4. Carefully pour the custard mixture over the bread cups and press down lightly to ensure absorption.
  5. Bake for 22-25 minutes, rotating the tin halfway through for even browning.
  6. Let the cups cool for a few minutes, then serve warm with toppings like syrup, berries, or whipped cream.
