French Toast Casserole

French Toast Casserole 1/2 loaf of bread (about 10 slices plus one heel cut into chunks -You could use old stale bread. You could also use different types of bread for different flavors.) 4 eggs 1 1/2 cups milk 4 Tablespoons Sugar (divided in half) 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Spray bottom of pan with cooking spray or coat with melted butter. Cut bread into chunks and spread evenly in a 9×13 pan. Mix together eggs, milk, 2 Tablespoons of sugar, salt, and vanilla. Pour over bread. Mix to coat (feel free to get your hand dirty). 😉 In a small separate bowl mix together 2 Tablespoons of sugar and 1 Tablespoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the entire pan until it is gone. If wanting to eat now: Cover and place in fridge over night. (you could cook immediately, but it is much better if you let it sit over night) The next morning cook in 350 degree oven for 45 to 50 minutes until golden brown. If wanting to freeze: Cover with foil and freeze. When you are ready, thaw overnight in fridge. Cook in 350 degree oven for 45 to 50 minutes until golden brown. Optional ideas: If you are afraid it may dry out, place a few tabs of butter on top when you bake it. When serving I have drizzled with syrup right before serving, or I have sprinkled with with powdered sugar. Either way is fabulous! Recipe Notes If you want this casserole to taste even more amazing – drizzle some syrup on top and then sprinkle with powdered sugar.
