A sweet breakfast bake topped with a delicious cinnamon and sugar crumble topping!

French Toast Casserole

I recently bought a new pair of tennis shoes, but they are for the gym only. They can’t be worn outside. Around the same time, I decided I needed to replace my walking shoes because they were getting worn out. So now I have two new pair of tennis shoes! Except when I got my new walking shoes, I decided I liked them too much to beat them up! I wanted those to be for everything except walking.

Very. Funny. Men!

We love breakfast for dinner! That’s when we actually have time to make things like Overnight French Toast Bake and discuss my shopping habits, ha!

This breakfast casserole is absolutely fantastic. Your whole family will love it! If they like a hearty breakfast like my family does, then be sure to make Vegetarian Biscuits & Gravy , Vegetarian Egg Bake , or Vegetarian Breakfast Sandwiches!

What You’ll Need

1 loaf Sour Dough Bread

8 Eggs

2 cups Milk

1/2 cup Heavy Cream

3/4 cup Sugar

2 tbsp Vanilla

1/2 cup Flour

1/2 cup Brown Sugar

1 tsp Cinnamon

1/4 tsp Salt

1/2 cup Cold Butter, Cut into Pieces

How to Make Overnight French Toast Bake

Spray 9 x 13 pan with non-stick spray.

Cut a loaf of sour dough bread into cubes and distribute evenly into the pan.

In a bowl, mix together 8 eggs, 2 cups milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 3/4 cup sugar, and 2 tbsp vanilla.

Pour over bread evenly. Cover pan and refrigerate overnight.

For the topping, mix together 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt.

Cut 1/2 cup cold butter into pieces and mix with the topping mixture until crumbly. Place into a separate container and refrigerate overnight.

Take the pan and container out of the refrigerator when ready. Sprinkle the crumbly topping over the bread evenly.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. (Remove from the oven if you like it soft; continue to bake if you like it firm.)

Bread – Make sure to use bread that is a day or two old. This helps to make sure it doesn’t absorb too much and become soggy. I highly recommend using sour dough bread!

Variations – You can add chopped pecans, apple pieces, or blueberries!

Full Pan – Make sure your pan is filled just about to the top, not heaping, with the cubed sour dough bread. Depending on the size of the loaf you buy, you make need a loaf and a half. Making sure the pan is full helps with not having soggy french toast.
