Time 9h25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (12-14 ounce) loaf french bread, sourdough bread, or challah*
8 ounces (224g) block cream cheese, softened to room temperature*
2 Tablespoons (15g) confectioners' sugar (do not leave out)
3 teaspoons (15ml) pure vanilla extract, divided
8 large eggs
2 and 1/4 cups (540ml) whole milk
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2/3 cup (133g) packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup (69g) packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup (41g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 Tablespoons (86g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
optional: maple syrup and/or confectioners' sugar for topping

Steps:

  • Grease a 9×13 inch or any 3-4 quart oven-safe dish 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 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. (I like to make sure some cream cheese is still exposed on top just for looks.) Set aside.
  • Whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon, brown sugar, and remaining vanilla together until no brown sugar lumps remain. Pour evenly over the bread. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours and up to 24 hours. Overnight is best.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Remove pan from the refrigerator.
  • Whisk the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Cut in the cold cubed butter with a pastry blender or two forks. Sprinkle the topping evenly 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. Drizzle with optional maple syrup or dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm.
  • Cover leftovers tightly and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Delicious and decadent, simple spin on French toast. Got the idea from a bed and breakfast in the south. Add additional ingredients; we like blueberries and cream cheese, cinnamon apples, nuts, and dried fruit!

Provided by Heather Bogle

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Casserole Recipes

Time 8h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup brown sugar
½ cup butter
1 (8 ounce) loaf crusty French bread, cut into bite-size pieces, or as needed
2 cups milk
6 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 pinch ground cinnamon, or to taste
1 tablespoon brown sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Grease a 9x12-inch baking dish.
  • Stir 1 cup brown sugar and butter together in a saucepan over medium-low heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves into butter, 2 to 4 minutes. Pour into prepared baking dish and spread a 1 1/2- to 2-inch layer of bread pieces over the top.
  • Beat milk, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a bowl; pour milk mixture over bread into the baking dish and move bread as necessary to ensure all bread is absorbing liquid. Sprinkle cinnamon over the top. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Remove and discard plastic wrap from baking dish and sprinkle remaining brown sugar over the top of the bread mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until browned and bubbling, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a crispier casserole, use day-old bread. Fresh bread will absorb too much of the egg mixture and become soggy.
  • If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking dish, you can use a slightly smaller or larger dish. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • If you want a sweeter casserole, add 1/4 cup of sugar to the egg mixture.
  • For a more decadent casserole, use half-and-half instead of milk in the egg mixture.
  • Top the casserole with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, powdered sugar, or fruit.

Conclusion:

French toast casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish that is perfect for a crowd. It can be made ahead of time and reheated, making it a great option for busy mornings. With its simple ingredients and endless variations, French toast casserole is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
