Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups bread (cubed) Use day-old bread for the best texture.
  • 2 cups milk Any type of milk works.
  • 1 cup rhubarb (chopped) Substitute with chopped apples or berries if desired.
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs Or replace with flax eggs for a vegan version.

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix together the bread cubes, chopped rhubarb, and cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt until well combined.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the bread and rhubarb, ensuring everything is well-coated.
  5. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the mixture.

  8. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
