You want some nice chewy day old white bread. Baguette works well or an artisan style sourdough.
Chop the bread into cubes and dry it out in a low oven.
Basically you are soaking the bread in a custard mix and baking it. The drier the bread is the more custard mix it will soak up.
Use 100ml of milk or cream for each egg. Whisk together in a bowl.
One baguette, 5 eggs, 500ml cream serves two, or one.
Flavour with cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg.
Fold in anything you like, grated apple, pear, banana, peaches, plums, nectarines, raisins, nuts and chocolated all work wonders.
Sprinkle the top with a coarse unrefined sugar and orange zest.
Bake in a water bath at 325F for about 45 minutes, it is done when the custard is just set in the center.
