2 cups heavy cream
1 cup sugar
6 each whole eggs
2 tsp cinnamon

texas toast (about 1/5 loaf) or dry brioche, cubed about 1.5 inches - enough to fill the red cast iron container to the top

Lightly caramelize the brown sugar, then add half-and-half, butter and salt in a saucepan over
medium-low heat. Cook while whisking gently for 5 to 7 minutes, until it gets thicker. Add the vanilla and cook another minute to thicken further.
