French Toast Cassarole
You can even make this the night before, wrap in cling wrap, and put in the fridge till morning, pull it out and bake in the preheated oven! It is that easy!
Ingredients:
8 cups bread cubes (I used 2 loaves of cinnamon swirl bread)
7 eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 cup vanilla coffee creamer or any flavor coffee creamer
1/2 cup and 2 tablespoons white sugar, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon and 2 teaspoons margarine, softened
1-3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon + 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 cup Chopped pecans
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly butter or spray with pam, an 9X13 inch baking pan.
2. Line bottom of pan with bread cubes. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, coffee creamer, 1/2 cup sugar, salt and vanilla. Pour egg mixture over bread. Dot with margarine; let stand for 10 minutes, or cover with cling wrap and put in fridge over night. 3. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons sugar with 1 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle over the top.
4. Mix together brown sugar, remaining cinnamon, and pecans, and sprinkle on top. Bake in preheated oven about 45 to 50 minutes, until top is golden.
This is so yummy! Try with variations like add:
1. 1/2 dried cranberries, blueberries, raisins or cherries.
2. mix 4 tablespoons cream cheese with 2 teaspoons sugar, and dot the top with it.
3. mix in any pie filling, we love pie apples or pie cherries in this! It makes it taste more like bread pudding than breakfast!
4. I just found this thing called fried apples in the canned fruit section and tried them in here as well! Oh man, they were yummy!
All of these variation can be made by mixing the fruit, nuts etc., in with the bread then topping with butter and cinnamon, etc.
Enjoy,
