Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 16 ounce loaf challah bread (cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • cooking spray
  • maple syrup and fruit for serving (optional)
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 12 tablespoons butter (cold, cut into slices)

Instruction

  • Coat a 9"x13" pan with cooking spray.
  • Place the bread cubes in an even layer in the pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla extract and cinnamon.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or over night.
  • Place the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Stir to combine.
  • Add the butter to the bowl. Use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form.
  • Refrigerate the streusel mixture until you're ready to use it.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle the streusel mixture over the french toast.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes until casserole is browned and cooked through. If the casserole looks like it's browning too quickly before the bake time is over, cover it with foil.
  • Cool for 10 minutes, then cut into squares. Serve with maple syrup and fruit if desired.
