Ingredients
6 Eggland’s Best eggs, large
6 Mallorca sweet rolls, cut into cubes
1 ½ cups whole milk
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Coquito Glaze:
½ cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons coquito (or milk)
1 teaspoon rum extract (optional)
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Arrange the cubed Mallorca rolls evenly in the prepared dish.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the custard evenly over the bread cubes, gently pressing down so the bread absorbs the mixture.
- Rest for 15 minutes at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate overnight for deeper flavor.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until puffed, golden brown, and set in the center.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, coquito, and rum extract (if using) until smooth.
- Drizzle glaze over the warm bake before serving.
Pro tip: For an extra festive touch, sprinkle toasted coconut or a pinch of nutmeg over the glaze before serving.
