Step‑by‑Step Instructions for French Toast Cups

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
Cut brioche or challah bread into quarters and press each quarter into the muffin cups to form nests.
Whisk together eggs, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
Pour the custard mixture over the bread cups and let them soak for a few minutes.
Bake the cups for 22-25 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
Cool for about 5 minutes, then remove from the tin and serve warm.
