For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the custard mixture. Day-old bread works best for this recipe, as it absorbs the custard better without becoming soggy. If you don't have half-and-half, you can substitute with equal parts milk and heavy cream. Feel free to add berries, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips to the bread cubes before pouring the custard over for a customized twist.
