BAKED APPLE FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 7x11-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Beat eggs, half-and-half, milk, white sugar, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl; add bread cubes and stir to coat. Let soak until bread is moist, at least 10 minutes.

- Stir apple mixture into the bread mixture; pour into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in preheated oven until golden on top and still somewhat soft in the center, 35 to 45 minutes.

BAKED CREAM CHEESE FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE
Steps:
- Grease a 9x13 pan with butter or spray with nonstick spray.
- Slice then cut the bread into cubes, about 1 inch in size. Spread half of the cubes into the prepared baking pan.
- Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the room temperature (not cold!) cream cheese on medium-high speed until completely smooth.
- Beat in the confectioners' sugar and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract until combined. Drop random spoonfuls of cream cheese mixture on top of the bread. Layer the remaining bread cubes on top of cream cheese. Set aside.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon, brown sugar, and remaining vanilla together until no brown sugar lumps remain. Pour over the bread. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and stick in the refrigerator for 3 hours - overnight. Overnight is best.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Remove pan from the refrigerator.
- Prepare the topping: Whisk the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Cut in the cubed butter with a pastry blender or two forks. Sprinkle the topping over the soaked bread.
- Bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes or until golden brown on top. I usually bake it for 45 minutes because I like it softer. Serve immediately. Cover leftovers tightly and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
- Make ahead tip: Prepare the topping in advance, cover tightly, and store in the refrigerator. Sprinkle over the soaked bread before baking. For freezing, prepare the recipe through step 4 (without preheating the oven) and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator then bake as directed.

Tips:
- Use a good quality bread for the casserole. A sturdy bread, such as a French baguette or sourdough, will hold up well and not become soggy.
- For a richer flavor, use a mixture of milk and cream in the custard mixture.
- Add your favorite spices to the custard mixture for a customized flavor. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla are all popular choices.
- If you want a crispy topping, sprinkle some brown sugar or cinnamon sugar on top of the casserole before baking.
- Serve the casserole warm, topped with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or maple syrup.
Conclusion:
Baked French toast casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for a crowd, and it can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve. With its rich, custard flavor and crispy topping, baked French toast casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
