I Make This French Toast Casserole Every Christmas Morning

By Sugar Spun Run

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously butter a 9x13 casserole dish.
2. Spread the challah cubes evenly in the dish and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon and salt until well combined.
4. Add both sugars and the eggs and whisk well.
5. Add the milk and cream and whisk until fully combined.
6. Pour the custard evenly over the bread and gently stir with a spatula so every piece soaks it up. Set aside while you make the topping.
7. For the topping, mix the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Scatter the cold butter over it and rub or cut it in until coarse, sandy crumbs form.
8. Leave the casserole to soak for 15–20 minutes or longer, until the bread has absorbed most of the custard.
9. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the casserole. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake on the centre rack at 375°F (190°C) for 50 minutes, until browned and mostly set, with a slightly jiggly centre.
10. Serve warm.
