Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 6 large eggs
- 1¾ cups whole milk (370mL)
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar (55g)
- 1½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large loaf French bread cut into 1-inch cubes (about 14 to 16-oz.)
For the Topping:
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar (55g)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup cold butter diced (57g)
To Serve
- maple syrup
- powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F. Lightly grease a 13x9-inch baking dish with butter.
For the Filling:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the bread until fully coated. Spoon into the prepared baking dish.
For the Topping:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Sprinkle the mixture and the butter evenly over the bread mixture.
- Bake for about 30 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve with powdered sugar and maple syrup, if desired.
Notes
- For a richer custard filling: Substitute half and half for the milk, or use 1 cup of milk and ¾ cup of heavy cream.
- If the casserole browns too quickly in the oven: Tent the pan with aluminum foil.
- Switch up the spices: For a more seasonal touch, you can add different spices, such as pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice, to the custard or topping.
- Add nuts: For a crunchy element, add ½ cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the topping.
- Top with streusel: Skip the cinnamon sugar and top your French toast casserole with a crisp streusel topping instead.
