Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

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.

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

cooking spray
1/4 cup egg substitute (or use 1 egg)
2 tablespoons nonfat milk
2 slices day-old whole grain bread (denser breads are your best bet)
1 tablespoon chopped pecans
1/3 cup maple-flavored syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons butter

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Lightly coat the interior of 1 oven-proof bowl with cooking spray.(try a soup bowl with a handle or any baking dish that is about 4" across and 2" deep).
Trim bread slices to a shape and size that will fit the bowl.
In another larger bowl, whisk egg and milk, then place bread slices in egg mixture until liquid is absorbed.
Combine nuts and syrup in the bottom of the ovenproof bowl, and dot the surface with the butter.
Place the soaked bread slices on top---they should not reach past the lip of the bowl.
Place bowl on a baking sheet to prevent drips, and place in the preheated oven.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until top is lightly browned and center is firm.
Remove from oven and allow to set for about 10 minutes.
Invert bowl onto a plate, remove bowl and serve.

Tips:

Use a good quality bread for the casserole. A stale or dry bread will not absorb the custard well and will result in a soggy dish.
If you don't have a lot of time, you can use a store-bought custard mix. Just be sure to follow the package directions carefully.
You can add a variety of spices to the custard mixture to give it a different flavor. Some popular options include cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract.
If you want a crispy topping, sprinkle some brown sugar or cinnamon sugar on top of the casserole before baking.
Serve the casserole warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fruit.
