Description
A delightful and convenient way to enjoy classic French toast in casserole form, perfect for gatherings and special occasions.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of bread (cubed)
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Butter (for greasing)
- Powdered sugar (for serving, optional)
Instructions
- Start by greasing a baking dish with butter to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Gently fold in the bread cubes, ensuring they are well-coated with the custard mixture.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate overnight to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and set in the center.
- Allow to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar for serving.
