  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Generously butter a 9×13-inch baking dish and arrange bread slices in a single layer.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, milk, vanilla extract, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth.
