French Toast Casserole

Submitted by: DGARROD

Introduction

This takes french toast to the next level. A disastrous french toast morning made for my son's friends left me wondering if there was a better way. Needless to say my son never brought his friends for breakfast again. Since then, this french toast casserole is absolutely delicious and loved by all. It is great for days when the kids have off from school and doesn't require any last-minute preparations. Arrange the eggs, milk and flavorings the night before so the flavors have time to soak into the dry bread cubes. Delicious! Wish I would have had this recipe back then!

  • oh my, too good! I used maple syrup from our own trees. Next time I will not cube the bread, just use it sliced. I will spread the cream cheese evenly over each piece of bread rather than useing cube cream cheese. I got one piece of this! DH ate all the rest. - 11/13/10

  • This was a bit hit! I love finding recipes I can make the night before. I served it with fresh strawberries and spiced pecans to put on top. I used sugar free maple syrup and no one could tell the difference! - 5/9/09
