Crockpot French Toast
Crockpot French Toast uses cubed French bread soaked in an egg, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla mixture, then slow-cooked with a crumbly topping of flour, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and salt. The result is a warm, soft, custardy breakfast perfect for feeding a crowd with minimal active preparation.
Ingredients
- 6 large egg
- 2 cups milk whole
- 1/4 /4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 lb French bread about 8 cups, or sourdough, cut into 1-inch cubes
TOPPING:
- 1/4 /4 cup flour
- 1/4 /4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 /4 cup butter softened
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- salt pinch
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Add the bread cubes and stir together well. Refrigerate the mixture for 1-12 hours. I've also cooked it right away but letting the mixture soak in helps.
- Spray a 6-8 quart crockpot with cooking spray. Pour bread mixture into slow cooker.
- For the topping: Mix together the flour, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and salt using a pastry cutter or your hands until the texture of wet sand. Crumble mixture over bread in the crockpot.
- Cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours. Serve warm with syrup, powdered sugar, or fruit.
