  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Slice the brioche or challah into quarters and press each piece into a muffin cup to create a hollow cup.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, whisk together until smooth.
  4. Pour the custard mixture over the prepared bread cups, pressing down gently to encourage absorption.
