    One of my goals this year is to make more overnight breakfast casseroles. I am working on spending time planning out our meals for the week ahead of time so I don't have to scramble and come up with something last minute.

    My husband and I are having our weekly Bad A$$ meetings together to talk through what each week looks like and what we need to have ready. These meetings help keep us on the same page and make sure nothing is getting missed.

    The 20 minutes we spend talking truly helps me feel like we have a plan for making sure we are getting things done and having time to relax.

    This overnight French Toast Casserole takes a few minutes of prep and then it relaxes in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake it. I wish I would have made one of these for Christmas morning. It would have been perfect.

    French Toast casserole recipe ingredients, bread, cream cheese, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and eggs on a cutting board

    Ingredients

    • Sliced Bread
    • Eggs
    • Cream Cheese
    • Milk
    • Maple Syrup
    • Ground Cinnamon
    • Vanilla Extract
    • Salt

    Bread - We use Hawaiian bread, Challah Bread, brioche bread, French bread, or leftover sandwich bread most of the time to make this French Toast Bake. Some days I toss in the random slices of a few different types of bread so they get used.

    Equipment Needed

    Non Stick cooking Spray - You can also grease the pan with butter.

    Tablespoons/Teaspoons/Measuring Tools

    9X13 Casserole Dish

    Large Mixing Bowl - We are big fans of this glass batter bowl that has a handle. It makes it easy to mix ingredients and keeps the mixing bowl steady on the counter.

    Aluminum Foil

    Heat resistant potholders - A couple of years ago we had a fire scare when we didn't realize we had turned a burner on and a cloth potholder caught fire. Thankfully we walked by the kitchen and saw the smoke and were able to get it out ourselves. Since then we have only used these heat-resistant potholders.

    Step 6 - Remove French Toast casserole baking pan from the refrigerator about 30 to 45 minutes before you plan to bake it.

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees when you are ready to bake this overnight French toast casserole.

    Remove saran wrap and cover with aluminum foil before placing in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes, remove aluminum foil and bake for additional 20-25 minutes.

    Recipe Tips

    You can serve with homemade whipped cream or for the holidays try this Eggnog Whipped Cream.

    If you have any leftovers store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Microwave for 30-45 seconds to reheat.

    If you don't want to wait overnight for this French Toast Casserole you can refrigerate it for 4-6 hours before baking. You want to give time for the custard mixture to soak into the bread.

    Streusel Topping - If you want a crunchier top to this overnight breakfast casserole you can combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and a bit of nutmeg to make a topping. Stir it together with a fork and then add in butter to create small pebbles. Spinkle over the top of the bread pieces.
