Using a strainer, strain the egg mixture into the milk. Whisk over medium heat until thickened.
Remove the pan from the heat and fold in the vanilla and bourbon until combined. Place seran wrap flat against the creme anglais so it doesn’t gain a skin as it cools.

In a bowl, add the flour, salt, white sugar, and vanilla together. Cut the butter into cubes and using your hands, cut the butter into the flour mixture until crumbly.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a large deep baking dish.
Place down one layer of challah bread. Sprinkle with the flour mixture. Add another layer of bread and sprinkle with more of the flour mixture.
Bake for 45 minutes to 1 one hour.
Serve with warm creme anglais, bacon jam, and roasted almonds if desired.
