This warm, sweet cinnamon bread casserole is a great twist on French toast with custard. We have it every Christmas morning. Serve with whipped cream and either blackberry or strawberry preserves.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 stick butter, softened, or as needed

  • 1 (16 ounce) loaf cinnamon swirl bread (such as Pepperidge Farm®)

  • 1 ½ cups milk

  • 4 large eggs

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Butter 6 slices cinnamon swirl bread, then place them butter-side down into a casserole dish. Butter 6 more bread slices and place them butter-side down on the other slices.

  2. Mix together milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a bowl until smooth and pour over bread in the casserole dish. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.

  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  4. Place the casserole dish inside a larger pan; pour water into the outer pan, making sure not to get water in casserole.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, about 50 minutes.

Tips

You can use margarine instead of butter if you prefer.
