French Toast Breakfast Casserole
Ingredients
For the casserole:
- 1 loaf stale bread (I used French Bread), tore into pieces – I used 9 cups of bread
- 8 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cups sugar
- 2 tablespoons vanilla
For the topping:
- ½ cup flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 stick cold butter, cubed
Instructions
The night before:
- Grease a 9x13 pan.
- Place the bread pieces into the pan.
- Mix together eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla. Pour on top of the bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- In a small bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt. Add the butter and press together with a fork until it comes together. Store in frig for tomorrow.
The day of:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spread the topping on top of the bread.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, depending on how firm you like your French toast.
- Serve warm. Can top with maple syrup – if you want – but I find that too sweet!
