Ingredients
- 1 grams loaf of crusty French Bread
- 6 eggs
- 2 cups half and half or 1 cup cream 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg optional but this gives it a "doughnuty" taste
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Crunchy Streusel Topping:
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons salted butter
Instructions
- Butter a 9x13 baking pan. Slice the bread into 1 inch slices (I usually get around 12 slices) Lay the slices, slightly overlapping each other, in the pan. LET AIR DRY IF YOU CAN for a few hours!
- When the bread has dried out a lot, (this is important, you will have a soggy casserole if you don't follow this) whisk together the eggs,milk/cream,vanilla,spices and salt. Pour over the bread evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- In the morning, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Combine the dry streusel toppings, then cut in the butter with a fork or pastry blender. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the bread.
- Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, OR until the middle is cooked. If it's browning too much, cover with tinfoil and continue cooking. Baking time WILL DEPEND ON HOW THICK you make the casserole!
