Classic French Toast Casserole

French toast is a beloved breakfast classic, and transforming it into a casserole offers a delightful twist, especially ideal for a cozy breakfast for two. The Classic French Toast Casserole combines the comforting flavors of traditional French toast with the convenience of a bake-ahead dish. Rich, custardy bread is infused with warming spices and vanilla, all baked to a golden perfection. This dish is perfect for lazy weekend mornings or a special occasion breakfast, providing a comforting start to the day without having to spend much time in the kitchen.

When making a larger batch to serve 4-6 people, you can easily scale up the ingredients while maintaining the same delicious flavors. This casserole is versatile, allowing you to customize with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar. It’s a crowd-pleaser that balances simplicity and indulgence, making it a go-to recipe for many breakfast gatherings.

Ingredients (serves 4-6):

1 loaf of day-old brioche or challah bread
8 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup pecans, chopped (optional)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Maple syrup, for serving

Cooking Instructions:

Prepare the Bread: Begin by cutting the loaf of brioche or challah into 1-inch cubes. Arrange the cubes evenly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, making certain they cover the dish completely.
Mix the Custard: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined and smooth.
Assemble the Casserole: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes in the baking dish, pressing down gently to guarantee all the bread is soaked. If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top of the casserole.
Soak Overnight: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight. This allows the bread to fully absorb the custard, resulting in a rich, flavorful bake.
Preheat and Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Drizzle the melted butter over the top, then bake for 45-55 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Serve and Enjoy: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Slice into portions and serve with maple syrup or your preferred toppings.

Extra Tips:

For best results, use day-old bread as it absorbs the custard better without becoming too soggy. If you’re short on time, you can briefly toast fresh bread cubes in the oven to dry them out.

Customize your casserole by adding ingredients like raisins or chocolate chips for added flavor and texture. If you prefer a less sweet dish, reduce the amount of sugar in the custard.

Finally, leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheated in the oven for a quick breakfast option.

The preparation is simple, yet the result is a satisfying breakfast that feels both luxurious and comforting. Gather your ingredients and let’s create this sweet breakfast treat!

Ingredients (serving size: 4-6 people):

8 slices of bread (preferably brioche or challah)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup mixed berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries)
6 large eggs
1 ½ cups milk
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Maple syrup for serving (optional)

Cooking Instructions:

Prepare the Bread Base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with a bit of butter or non-stick spray. Cut the bread slices into cubes and spread half of them evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
Layer with Cream Cheese and Berries: In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Drop spoonfuls of the softened cream cheese over the layer of bread cubes. Evenly distribute the mixed berries over the cream cheese layer, ensuring that every bite will have a burst of berry flavor.
Add the Remaining Bread: Top the cream cheese and berry layer with the remaining bread cubes, pressing them down gently to guarantee an even surface.
Mix the Custard: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Pour this custard mixture over the bread layers, making sure to cover the bread evenly. Use a spatula to press the bread down slightly so it absorbs the custard.
Bake the Casserole: Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the casserole. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
Serve and Enjoy: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup if desired.

Extra Tips:

For best results, use slightly stale bread as it absorbs the custard more effectively, resulting in a richer texture. If you don’t have stale bread, you can lightly toast fresh bread cubes in the oven before assembling the casserole.

Feel free to experiment with different combinations of berries, or add a handful of nuts or granola for extra crunch. If preparing the night before, simply cover and refrigerate after pouring the custard, then bake fresh in the morning for a stress-free breakfast.

1/2 cup powdered sugar
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon milk

Cooking Instructions:

Prepare the Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Cut the Cinnamon Rolls: Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and set aside the icing. Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters and evenly distribute them in the prepared baking dish.
Make the Custard Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and maple syrup until well combined. This mixture will soak into the rolls, providing moisture and flavor.
Combine and Bake: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the chopped cinnamon rolls in the baking dish, guaranteeing all pieces are coated. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the casserole is set.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze: While the casserole is baking, mix the reserved icing from the cinnamon rolls with the powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, and milk in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Add the Glaze: Once the casserole is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the warm casserole, allowing it to melt slightly into the rolls.
Serve and Enjoy: Cut the casserole into pieces and serve warm. It’s perfect on its own or paired with fresh fruit or a cup of coffee.

Extra Tips:

For an added crunch, consider sprinkling chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts over the top of the casserole before baking.

If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the amount of powdered sugar in the glaze or omit the maple syrup.

For a fun variation, try adding a handful of raisins or dried cranberries to the cinnamon roll pieces before baking.

To guarantee the best texture, avoid overbaking, as the casserole should remain soft and fluffy.

Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. This will be the base binding the casserole together.
Assemble the Casserole: Lightly spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Layer the cubed bread evenly across the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon, cooked sausage, chopped bell peppers, and onions over the bread.
Add the Cheese: Distribute the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the layered ingredients, ensuring even coverage for a cheesy finish.
Pour the Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the entire casserole, making sure all the bread cubes are soaked with the liquid. This will guarantee a moist and flavorful bake.
Bake the Casserole: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are completely set and the top is golden brown. You can test by inserting a knife in the center; if it comes out clean, the casserole is ready.
Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. This resting period helps the layers stabilize, making it easier to cut and serve.

Extra Tips

For the best results, use day-old bread as it absorbs the egg mixture better than fresh bread, preventing a soggy texture. If you prepare the casserole the night before, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate, allowing the flavors to meld.

Before baking, let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses or add herbs like thyme or rosemary for added flavor. Enjoy your hearty breakfast!

Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts or dried fruits, such as pecans or raisins, for added texture and flavor. To make this dish vegan, substitute the milk with a plant-based alternative and use flax eggs in place of regular eggs.

Extra Tips: For a more robust flavor, consider adding cooked bacon or sausage crumbles to the strata before baking. If you prefer a spicier dish, a pinch of red pepper flakes can be mixed into the egg mixture.

Additionally, feel free to experiment with other cheeses such as feta or cheddar if goat cheese isn’t your preference.
