Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Irresistible French Toast Cups

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Cut brioche or challah bread into quarters and gently press 3-4 quarters into each muffin cup, forming a cup shape.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
Pour the custard mixture over the bread cups, ensuring even saturation. Let it soak for about 5 minutes.
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, rotating halfway through.
Once baked, cool for a few minutes and remove from the tin, serving warm.
