A sweet breakfast bake topped with a delicious cinnamon and sugar crumble topping!

French Toast Casserole

I recently bought a new pair of tennis shoes, but they are for the gym only. They can’t be worn outside. Around the same time, I decided I needed to replace my walking shoes because they were getting worn out. So now I have two new pair of tennis shoes! Except when I got my new walking shoes, I decided I liked them too much to beat them up! I wanted those to be for everything except walking.

You should have seen the look on my husband’s face as I was justifying buying a third pair of tennis shoes. It was hilarious! He sat there dumbfounded. When he finally left his state of shock, he said he needs to get a pair of tennis shoes to ride his bike, he needs a pair of tennis shoes to catch Walleye, and he needs a separate pair of tennis shoes to catch Northern Pike.

Very. Funny. Men!

We love breakfast for dinner! That’s when we actually have time to make things like Overnight French Toast Bake and discuss my shopping habits, ha!

This breakfast casserole is absolutely fantastic. Your whole family will love it! If they like a hearty breakfast like my family does, then be sure to make Vegetarian Biscuits & Gravy, Vegetarian Egg Bake, or Vegetarian Breakfast Sandwiches!
