Take note
Handle the oven and hot pans with caution to avoid burns. Keep an eye on the casserole while it bakes to prevent burning.

1

Prepare the Bread

Start by slicing a loaf of day-old bread into thick slices. Don't be skimpy! Arrange the slices in a greased baking dish. You want each bite to be filled with deliciousness.

2

Mix the Custard

In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. This custard mixture will give your French toast a rich and creamy taste. Pour it evenly over the bread slices, making sure they're coated.

3

Add Toppings

Now comes the fun part! Sprinkle your favorite toppings over the bread. You can go classic with cinnamon and brown sugar or get creative with fresh berries, chocolate chips, or a drizzle of maple syrup. The choice is yours!

4

Let It Rest

Cover the baking dish with foil and refrigerate it overnight. This step allows the bread to soak up all the flavors and results in a heavenly texture. It's like magic happening in your fridge!

5

Bake to Perfection

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the foil from the baking dish and pop it into the oven. Bake for about 40-45 minutes or until the top turns golden brown and the casserole is set. The aroma will make you drool!

6

Serve and Enjoy

Once it's done baking, take the casserole out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut it into generous squares and serve it warm. Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup for that extra touch of yumminess.
