Ingredients
- 8 cups cubed French bread from a thick, crusty loaf
- 7 large eggs lightly beaten
- 1 ¼ cups whole milk
- 1 cup half & half cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp almond extract
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ cup salted butter melted
- 1 ⅓ cup brown sugar packed
- 3 TB pure maple syrup
- Optional Cinnamon Sugar Topping: 1/4 cup sugar whisked with 1 tsp cinnamon (really yummy!) Serve with pure maple syrup and fresh berries.
Instructions
- Butter a 9x13 baking dish; arrange bread cubes evenly in the dish. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add all remaining ingredients (except optional topping.) Beat until fully incorporated and no clumps of brown sugar remain. Evenly and slowly pour liquid mixture over the bread cubes, gently tossing to ensure that all bread is coated with egg mixture. Bread cubes should be mostly soaked. Cover with foil and chill overnight.
- Remove casserole from fridge, uncover, and let it rest at room temp while you preheat oven to 350F (rack on lower middle position.) Sprinkle top with Cinnamon Sugar Topping, if using.
- Bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes, or until French toast is quite pufffy and golden brown. Let casserole rest at least 5 min before cutting and serving. Serve with pure maple syrup and fresh berries, if desired.
