Arrange the 1-inch thick slices of challah or brioche bread in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, making sure each slice is thoroughly coated. Let the bread soak for 10 minutes, flipping the slices once halfway through, to allow them to absorb the custard.
