This is a recipe that is great for Holiday mornings, when you don't have time to cook breakfast, but want a nice breakfast for the table. You can tweak it in many ways. Add some fruit, small chunks of cream cheese... make it adult and add a touch of rum with some bananas and coconut!
Ingredients (Casserole)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 (8 ounce) loaf crusty French bread, cut into bite-sized pieces, or more as needed
2 cups milk
6 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Ingredients (Topping)
1 tablespoon brown sugar, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
Powdered Sugar
Maple Syrup
Directions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Make the French toast: Stir brown sugar and butter together in a saucepan over medium-low heat until butter is melted and sugar has dissolved, 2 to 4 minutes. Pour butter-brown sugar mixture into the prepared baking dish. Scatter French bread pieces over top in a 1 1/2- to 2-inch layer. Whisk milk, eggs, and vanilla together in a bowl until well combined. Pour over bread pieces, then press bread down with a spatula so the bread absorbs the liquid. Add any fruit (fresh or frozen), cream cheese, etc on top. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight. When ready to bake, remove French toast from the refrigerator and discard plastic wrap. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Make topping: Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the French toast. Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is browned and bubbling, which takes 50-60 minutes, covering with aluminum foil at any point if the top is browning too much. To serve, cut into squares and invert onto serving plates. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Serve with maple syrup, if desired.
