French Toast Casserole
We love breakfast for dinner! That’s when we actually have time to make things like Overnight French Toast Bake. My husband and I actually made this one together. I put the French Toast part together and he put the delicious cinnamon and sugar crumbly topping together. Then we put it in the fridge for the night. When we got home from work the next day, we sprinkled on the crumbly topping and baked it! I love it when a plan comes together.
If this recipe excites you like it does me, then be sure you try my favorite Baked Cinnamon Sugar Donuts and Pumpkin French Toast, too! Amazing!!
What You’ll Need:
- 1 loaf Sour Dough Bread
- 8 Eggs
- 2 cups Milk
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 3/4 cup Sugar
- 2 tbsp Vanilla
- 1/2 cup Flour
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Cold Butter, Cut into Pieces
How to Make Overnight French Toast Bake
- Spray 9 x 13 pan with non-stick spray.
- Cut a loaf of sour dough bread into cubes and distribute evenly into the pan.
- In a bowl, mix together 8 eggs, 2 cups milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 3/4 cup sugar, and 2 tbsp vanilla.
- Pour over bread evenly. Cover pan and refrigerate overnight.
- For the topping, mix together 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt.
- Cut 1/2 cup cold butter into pieces and mix with the topping mixture until crumbly. Place into a separate container and refrigerate overnight.
- Take the pan and container out of the refrigerator when ready. Sprinkle the crumbly topping over the bread evenly.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. (Remove from the oven if you like it soft; continue to bake if you like it firm.)
Recipe Notes:
- Bread – Make sure to use bread that is a day or two old. This helps to make sure it doesn’t absorb too much and become soggy. I highly recommend using sour dough bread!
- Variations – You can add chopped pecans, apple pieces, or blueberries!
- Full pan – Make sure your pan is filled just about to the top, not heaping, with the cubed sour dough bread. Depending on the size of the loaf you buy, you make need a loaf and a half. Making sure the pan is full helps with not having soggy french toast.
