Wondering what breakfast you can make on before church on Father’s Day? Try this kid-approved, Father’s Day French Toast Casserole.
This delicious breakfast casserole can be made the night before and is such a time-saver for busy Sunday mornings. We have this regularly for a filling before-church breakfast.
My family likes pancakes too, but they’re so time-consuming. That’s why this breakfast casserole is so awesome. I don’t have to stand over the stovetop or a griddle. I set the timer and walk away until it’s done.
This casserole works great for a delicious Christmas morning breakfast or for brunch too.
Father's Day French Toast Casserole
Ingredients
Ingredients
- Enough stale bread to fill a 9x13 baking pan. I use old hamburger or hot dog buns, loaf bread, or dinner rolls.
- 1 dozen eggs
- 2 c. of milk
- 2/3 c. of brown sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. of nutmeg
- 1 stick of butter
Instructions
Directions
- Melt the stick of butter.
- In a small bowl, mix 1/3 c. of brown sugar with 1/2 of the melted butter. Then, pour into the bottom of baking dish.
- Break up the stale bread and put into the baking dish on top of the brown sugar mixture.
- Whisk eggs, milk, 1/3 c. of brown sugar, the remainder of the melted butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl. When blended well, pour evenly across the top of the stale bread.
- Cover with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate several hours or overnight.
- When you are ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees, take covering off the casserole, sprinkle cinnamon over the surface of the casserole, and bake when the oven is preheated.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until top is golden brown. (The casserole will be very "puffed up" when you remove it from the oven and will deflate as it cools.)
- Plate servings, top with syrup and serve.
Notes
You could also mix pecans into this casserole prior to baking. Top this French Toast Casserole with maple syrup or powdered sugar and fruit. It's delicious either way!
Hope you enjoy!
