Ingredients
6 glazed donuts, cut into large chunks
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk

1/2 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt

2. Arrange donut chunks evenly in the dish.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Pour the custard evenly over the donuts, pressing gently so they soak up the mixture.
