Make-Ahead French Toast Casserole
Ingredients
  • 2 sticks butter, melted
  • 2 cups light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 loaf French bread, cut into 2-inch slices
  • 2 cups milk
  • 8 eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • aluminum foil
Instructions
1
Begin by placing a generous amount of melted butter into an 11x15-inch baking dish. Next, sprinkle a layer of brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the butter, followed by arranging bread slices closely together on top.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until they form a smooth and cohesive mixture. Pour this liquid over the bread in the baking dish, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
3
Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and refrigerate for an extended period of time, ideally 8 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
4
Preheat your oven to a temperature of 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
5
Carefully place the covered casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil to reveal the casserole, then continue baking until it's puffed and lightly golden in color, approximately 15 minutes more.
