Ingredients
- 1 loaf rustic French bread
- 7 eggs

Butter an 11 x 7 x 2-inch baking dish. Cut bread into 1- to 1½-inch pieces and place in dish. Whisk eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, brandy and cinnamon in a separate bowl, then pour over bread. Gently press down on bread to moisten.

Muscadelle
The name Muscadelle is often used for the grape that is the source of the sharp, light, dry French wine Muscadet. Its correct name is Melon de Bourgogne.

Icewine
Icewine got its name because it is made from very ripe frozen grapes. As the frozen grapes are pressed, the sweet, high-acid, concentrated juice is separated from the ice. Icewine is high in both sweetness and acidity - drinking it is out of this world!
