Ingredients

• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 4 cups 2% milk
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1-1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 2 loaves (1 pound each) day-old Italian bread, cut into 1-inch pieces

Text Ingredients

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, whisk the first 7 ingredients until blended. Gently stir in bread; let stand until bread is softened, about 15 minutes.
• Transfer to 2 greased 13x9-in. baking dishes. Bake until puffed, golden, and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, 30-35 minutes. In a small bowl, mix streusel ingredients; sprinkle over tops. Bake until golden brown, about 5 minutes longer.
• Serve warm, with sweetened whipped cream, if desired.
