Notes
- Make ahead of time. It needs at least 3-4 hours for the custard to absorb into the bread, but is best when stored overnight.

- Freeze ahead. You can freeze unbaked, or a cooled baked casserole. Wrap it tightly with plastic and again with foil. Freeze for 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge. If unbaked, heat according to the recipe. If baked, reheat in the oven until warmed throughout.
- Store leftover casserole, covered, in the fridge for 4-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
