Ingredients:
8 cups Brioche bread cubed and dried as below
5 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup oats
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons butter


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F.

Cut brioche bread into 1 inch pieces. Place in a warm oven for about 8-10 minutes to dry slightly, or cut and let stand uncovered on the counter overnight.

Whisk together eggs, milk, cream, brown sugar and vanilla in a bowl.

Pour wet mixture over bread and very gently toss to coat. Place in a 8x8" inch baking dish. Allow it to sit least 1 hour (or overnight).

Combine topping ingredients and incorporate the butter using a fork or pastry blender until crumbly.

Cover the bread mixture with the topping and place in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream or fruit.
