Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 loaf french bread or baguette (sliced into 1-inch thick slices)
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instruction

  • Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, granulated sugar, vanilla and salt.
  • Dip the bread slices in the egg mixture to coat (let them soak for a few seconds) and arrange side by side in the baking dish.
  • Pour remaining egg mixture evenly over the bread.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the bread.
  • Cover tightly with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours before baking.
  • To bake:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Remove casserole from the refrigerator and slide into the oven.
  • Bake covered for 40-45 minutes or until golden. For a more golden and crunchy top, remove the foil halfway through.
  • Serve immediately, dusted with powdered sugar or topped with warm maple syrup.
