A delicious and easy French toast casserole, perfect for breakfast or brunch!
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.5 loaf brioche or challah bread day-old, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups milk whole milk recommended
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup butter melted, for greasing the dish and topping
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with melted butter.
- Spread the bread cubes evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are coated. Gently press down the bread to help it soak up the custard.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight, to allow the bread to fully absorb the custard.
- Before baking, drizzle the remaining melted butter over the top of the casserole.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and cooked through. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh berries.
Notes
