Ingredients

Prepare the Muffin Tin

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin. Tear the French bread into small pieces and fill each muffin cup to the top.

Make the Egg Custard

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Pour 3 to 4 tablespoons of the mixture over the bread in each cup, pressing gently so the bread absorbs the liquid.

Make the Streusel Topping

In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter cubes using your fingers until the mixture forms small, crumbly pieces. Distribute the streusel evenly over each cup.

Bake the French Toast Cups

Bake for 20 minutes until the cups are puffy and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup.
