How to cook deliciously - French Toast Casserole

1. Stage

Scatter the French bread cubes in a greased 13x9-inch baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla and salt. Editor’s Tip: Make sure the eggs are completely beaten into the wet ingredients or you’ll find bits of scrambled eggs in your French toast bake. An immersion blender does a great job of really blending these ingredients together. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and refrigerate for eight hours or overnight.

2. Stage

Remove the pan from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking, and preheat the oven to 350°F. Dot the top of the casserole with butter. Editor’s Tip: Don’t discard the aluminum foil. Save it for baking in the next step. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon, and evenly sprinkle the mixture over the top.

3. Stage

Cover the pan with the aluminum foil, and bake the casserole until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Let the French Toast Casserole stand for five minutes. Slice it up and serve it warm, with maple syrup if desired.
