Ingredients

  • FRENCH TOAST
  • 1 pound French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 9 large large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

How To Make french toast casserole

  • Step 1
    To make the French toast, spread the bread cubes out in a well-greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Step 2
    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, whipping cream, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes. Use the flat side of a spatula to push the bread cubes down into the egg mixture, so they start soaking up the custard.
  • Step 3
    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Step 4
    To make the topping, stir together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in the butter using a pastry knife until crumbly. Cover and store in the refrigerator.
  • Step 5
    Remove the casserole from the fridge 40 minutes prior to baking to let it come to room temperature. Right before baking, sprinkle it with the topping. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F for 50-60 minutes or until set, puffy, and golden brown.
