EASY FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE I’ve tried French Toast Casseroles before but they were always missing SOMETHING. However, I need to bring a covered dish for this Thursday’s Staff Brunch, and my usual Cheddar Egg Strata was already taken, so I read through various FTC recipes, considering options, until I came up with one to try for today’s Sunday Brunch. This recipe is a winner and I won’t even need to take maple syrup. I can prep it the night before in about 5 minutes, then bake it while enjoying coffee for about 45 minutes (TOTAL) before heading off to school. =^..^=

How To Make easy french toast casserole

  • 1
    The night before, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon. (I just put everything in my 8 cup glass measuring cup, but a large bowl will do.) Cube or tear bread into pieces and add to the egg mixture. Push the bread down with the whisk until all the bread pieces are coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • 2
    In the morning, spray a 13 x 9” baking dish with cooking spray. Put the stick of butter in the dish and spoon around the brown sugar. Put the baking dish in the cold oven and preheat the oven to 350° F. After about 8 minutes, remove the dish from the oven and stir the butter and brown sugar together.
  • 3
    Remove the plastic wrap from the bread and egg mixture bowl & stir well. Spoon the mixture over the brown sugar & butter “syrup.” Add pecans or raisins, if desired.
