Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using low-fat milk instead of skim. If you prefer a sweeter custard, you can increase the sugar substitute to taste. You can also swap out the enriched white bread for whole grain or gluten-free options if desired. Adding fresh fruit like berries or bananas can enhance the flavor, making it a delightful variation reminiscent of Peaches And Cream Pie.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the baked breakfast custard warm, topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess. It pairs well with fresh fruit or a side of nuts for a balanced breakfast. For a leisurely brunch, consider serving alongside Surprise Muffins for a delightful spread.

Store any leftover baked custard in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave individual servings for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until warmed through. Avoid reheating multiple times to maintain the custard's texture and flavor.
