  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with liners or grease each cup.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
  3. Fold the cubed day-old bread into the custard mixture, allowing it to soak for about 5 minutes.
