Ingredients:
– 6 cups cubed day-old bread (such as French or Italian)

– 3 large eggs 
– 1/4 cup amaretto liqueur 
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation:
1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). 
2. Prepare the bread: Place the cubed bread in a large bowl. 
3. Mix the custard: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, eggs, amaretto, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
4. Combine: Pour the custard mixture over the cubed bread, stirring to coat the bread evenly. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to soak.
