I would suggest only using pasteurized eggs to prevent the overgrowth if Salmonella bacteria. Letting them sit again for 30 minutes makes it even worse and is very risky. Letting them sit, even refrigerated overnight can cause Salmonella poisoning as they multiply. Eggs can have Salmonella on the outside and inside of the shell. This is a wonderful recipe but a few cautionary notes as a Registered Dietitian. Assembled on Christmas Eve and baked it Christmas morning. Challah bread is a great choice! And definitely don't forget the creme for this one! The cool subtle tang is the perfect balance to the rich sweetness of the french toast. Cut each bread slice in half, making two triangles. Slice the bread into thick slices (1/2-inch to 1-inch thick). You’ll love it!ĭelicious and pretty simple. Grease a 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish with butter and set aside. I always serve it with peppers maple bacon to cut some of the sweetness. Unfortunately, I’ve forgotten the crème fraiche every time I’ve made it but it’s super delicious without it for sure. Whisk eggs, milk, and salt together in a bowl pour. Arrange two layers of bread slices on top. I used Brioche this time and it was equally delicious. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over melted butter. This yer I served it the day after Thanksgiving for the family and it was a hit. Have made this every Christmas for 3 years. If you’re hosting a large party, try adding another breakfast casserole (like this cheesy egg bake with sausage) to the menu, or go with any of these crowd-pleasing breakfast recipes instead. (If you’re short on time, this classic French toast recipe comes together quickly.)Īs the French toast bakes, set out tangy crème fraîche and maple syrup to serve alongside-though powdered sugar or toasted pecans would also go nicely. To make sure the bread has time to absorb the egg and milk mixture, cover the casserole dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least two hours. For the custard, we went with cinnamon, cardamom, and orange zest for warmth and brightness, but if you prefer your egg mixture with vanilla extract and cinnamon for more cinnamon roll vibes, that also works here. Cutting the loaf into wide slices (instead of tearing it into 1-inch cubes) and toasting them on a baking pan until golden and crispy first helps ensure the final baked French toast casserole won’t completely fall apart. To get there, we recommend using challah, brioche, or Pullman over more crusty French bread or sourdough bread. This version is all about creating a rich, custardy bread pudding experience balanced by textural pops of crunchy demerara sugar. Set it up the night before Christmas, Mother’s Day, or anytime you have guests coming over and all you’ll have to do in the morning is brush it with butter and bake. This overnight French toast casserole recipe is the ultimate hands-off entertaining brunch dish.
