Praline Topping: In saucepan, combine ingredients and bring to a boil, pour and spread evenly over top of bread slices. Bake casserole, uncovered, for 35-40 minutes til puffed and golden!

Tips:

Use a good quality bread for the casserole. A sturdy bread like French bread or brioche will hold up well and absorb the custard mixture without becoming soggy.
Don't overmix the custard mixture. Overmixing can make the custard tough.
Let the casserole rest for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will allow the bread to soak up the custard mixture and become evenly moist.
Bake the casserole in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the casserole cooks evenly.
Serve the casserole warm with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

Overnight Praline French Toast Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. The casserole can be prepared the night before, making it a great option for busy mornings. The combination of sweet praline sauce and creamy custard is sure to please everyone at the table.
