This Overnight French Toast Casserole brings everything you love about French toast together in one easy casserole. It is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or any holiday feast like Christmas, Easter, or Mother’s Day. Enjoy it with sweet cream butter, fresh berries, or warm maple syrup.
How to make French Toast Casserole
First, spread the bread cubes into a well-greased 9×13-inch casserole dish. Then in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, whipping cream, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes. Use the flat side of a spatula to push the bread cubes down into the egg mixture so they start soaking up the custard. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry knife until crumbly. Cover and store in the refrigerator.
Remove the casserole from the fridge about 40 minutes prior to baking to let it come to room temperature. Right before baking, sprinkle it with the topping. Bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes or until set, puffy, and golden brown. Cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Recipe notes and helpful tips
- I love this recipe with crusty French bread, but if a shorter soaking period is desired, use challah bread or brioche bread and soak for at least 4 hours.
- It is best to remove the casserole from the fridge 40 minutes prior to baking to bring it to room temperature. But don’t remove the topping from the fridge until you are ready to sprinkle and bake.
- For those of you who love nutmeg, add a couple of pinches. It adds great flavor, but my daughter is allergic to it, and she loves this casserole.
- Top individual slices with sweet cream butter, fresh berries, and warm maple syrup.
- Refrigerator leftovers in an airtight container for up 3 days. Reheat in the microwave at reduced power.
- To freeze, first fully cool, then put slices in a sturdy airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or the microwave.
