Easy French Toast Casserole Recipe
One of my favorite things about this super easy baked french toast recipe is that you can easily prep it the night before, pop it in the oven in the morning and breakfast is ready! I love serving this on Holiday weekends, or when we have company in town because it’s a no-brainer.
- Start by cutting up the bread into 1 inch cubes and placing them in a greased 9×13″ casserole dish.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, maple syrup and vanilla extract until a light pale color.
- Pour the egg mixture over the cubed bread, making sure to coat each piece.
What Kind Of Bread Is Best For French Toast?
The easiest bread to get ahold of is a loaf of french bread, and this will work just great. You can also use sourdough, challah, brioche, or any other type of hearty bread with a mild flavor to it.
You’ll want to stay away from using thin sandwich bread slices for this casserole, as it wont hold up well in the french toast bake.
- Try to find a loaf of bread that you can cut into cubes that are about 1 inch.
- Stale or dry bread will work great in overnight bakes because it’ll really have a chance to soak up the egg mixture.
Once you’ve got the egg mixture over the bread, you’ll whip up a super easy brown sugar crumble. This stuff really takes the french toast casserole to the next level!
Cover the casserole dish with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge overnight or for at least 4 hours.
In the morning just remove the plastic wrap and pop the super easy French Toast Casserole recipe into the oven and bake until the center is set!
The fragrance of vanilla and maple mixed with brown sugar will surely wake everyone up with a smile.
Can You Reheat Baked French Toast?
Yes! If for some reason you happen to have leftovers of this delicious casserole, you can definitely reheat them!
- You can reheat individual slices of french toast in the microwave until headed through.
- My personal favorite way to reheat french toast is in my toaster oven, so it gets nice and crispy on the top again.
What Goes With French Toast For Brunch?
French toast goes perfectly with fresh berries, bananas and melons. You can also pair it with scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage for a more hearty breakfast or brunch.
