  - We heard back from Chef Greg. Yes, he recommends you use Oreo brand cookies or something similar.

Do we use regular loaf bread and break it into pieces?

- It's best to use durable loaves, like brioche or French bread. Your bread will need to stand up to the liquidy ingredients, such as the eggs and cream, without falling apart. You can cube the bread. Hope this helps!
