Description
A warm and decadent French Toast Casserole made with brioche, eggs, and milk, topped with fresh fruits.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf of bread (preferably brioche or challah)
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Fresh fruits (for topping, e.g., berries, bananas)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish lightly with butter or cooking spray.
- Cut the bread into cubes, about one inch in size, and place them evenly in the baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes, pressing them down gently to ensure they soak up the custard.
- Let it sit for at least 30 minutes (or refrigerate overnight).
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
- Once out of the oven, top the casserole with fresh fruits before serving.
Notes
For best results, use stale bread and allow the dish to rest overnight to enhance flavors.
