Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 (1-inch-thick) baguette slices (cut on a long diagonal)
3 tablespoons instant-espresso powder
2 tablespoons hot water
3 cups whole milk
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
Cinnamon for dusting
Accompaniment: whipped cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in middle and generously butter a 13- by 9-inch shallow baking dish or pan (3-quart; preferably glass or ceramic).
  • Arrange bread in 1 layer in baking dish. Dissolve espresso powder in hot water in a large bowl. Whisk in milk, eggs, vanilla, and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth.
  • Pour custard over bread, then turn slices over several times so they soak up as much custard as possible. Sprinkle top with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
  • Bake until puffed and set, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in dish on a rack 10 minutes, then dust with cinnamon.
