Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Overnight French Toast Casserole.
Step 1
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon, whisking until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Step 2
Layer the slices of French bread in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, then pour the egg mixture over the bread, ensuring each slice is thoroughly soaked.
Step 3
Cover the dish and let it chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 4
About 30 minutes before you plan to bake, take the dish out of the fridge to let it reach room temperature.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
In a separate medium bowl, cream together brown sugar, softened butter, and corn syrup until the mixture is thick and luscious.
Step 7
Spread this sweet concoction evenly over the soaked bread, and for an extra crunch, sprinkle with chopped walnuts if you like.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until the top is a delightful golden brown and the casserole is set.
Step 9
Serve warm and savor every bite of this comforting dish!.
