1

Prep the Ingredients

Gather all your ingredients for this ultimate savory French Toast Casserole. You'll need sliced bread, eggs, milk, salt, pepper, your choice of savory ingredients (bacon, cheese, onions, vegetables, etc.), and some herbs for added flavor.

2

Prepare the Bread

Start by cutting your bread into cubes or slices. If you prefer a softer casserole, you can remove the crusts. Place the bread in a greased casserole dish, making sure to evenly distribute the bread cubes or slices.

3

Add the Savory Ingredients

This is where you can get creative! Sprinkle your chosen savory ingredients, such as crispy bacon, shredded cheese, sautéed onions, or cooked vegetables, over the bread in the casserole dish. Feel free to mix and match your favorite flavors!

4

Whisk the Egg Mixture

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. This mixture will be the base that soaks into the bread and flavors the casserole.

5

Pour and Soak

Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and savory ingredients in the casserole dish. Make sure all the bread is coated and let it soak for about 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.

6

Bake to Perfection

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the casserole dish in the oven and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the center. The savory aromas will fill your kitchen, making it impossible to resist!

7

Serve and Enjoy

Once your savory French Toast Casserole is baked to perfection, it's time to serve it up! Cut into generous portions and garnish with fresh herbs for an extra touch of color and flavor. Serve it alongside a side salad or a fresh fruit bowl for a complete and satisfying meal. Bon appétit!
