In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt until combined and smooth. Add in the bread cubes, and toss until they are evenly coated with the egg mixture. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Remove the bowl and toss the bread cubes once more with the egg mixture, and refrigerate for 10-30 more minutes.

Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray, or line each cup with paper liners. When the French toast mixture is ready, portion it evenly into the 12 muffin cups, pressing down on each one a bit as needed so that it will fit into the cup.
