French Toast Casserole

Print Recipe

A rich and comforting French Toast Casserole that’s perfect for a weekend brunch or holiday breakfast. Layers of cinnamon-spiced bread soaked in a creamy custard, baked to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf of brioche or challah bread, cut into cubes
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional: powdered sugar and maple syrup for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Place the cubed bread evenly in the prepared dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  4. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing lightly to help soak the bread. Let it sit for 15 minutes to absorb.
  5. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and melted butter, then drizzle evenly over the casserole.
  6. Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is fully set.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup if desired.

Notes

For a nutty crunch, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top before baking. This casserole can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning for convenience.
