cinnamon

Directions
Position rack in bottom third of oven. Preheat to 375F. Line the bottom of a 9 × 13-in. baking dish with parchment. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs with cream, milk, ¼ cup sugar and cinnamon.
Cut bread into 1-in. slices, stopping 1 in. from the bottom so it stays intact. Place bread in prepared dish. Slowly pour egg mixture overtop, letting it soak in evenly between slices. Flip bread over and let stand 15 min. Flip back and drizzle cut side with butter, then sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup sugar.
Bake in bottom third of oven until golden brown, 35 to 40 min. Serve with maple syrup, berries and nuts.
