Ingredients
- 15 ounce loaf Crusty Bread French or Italian
- 8 large Eggs beaten
- 3 cups Oat Milk
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon Powdered Sugar
- 1 cup Blueberries fresh
- 3 cups Strawberries fresh, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Cut the loaf of bread into 1-inch pieces and place into a greased 9x13 baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla until combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bread. With the back of a spatula, press the bread pieces into the egg mixture until all of the bread is saturated.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let the casserole sit for 15 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar and decorate with fresh blueberries and strawberries.
- Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
Notes
- Any type of crusty bread can be used for this recipe. Look for a 15 ounce loaf of Italian or French bread in the bakery section of your supermarket. If you'd rather use a loaf of sandwich bread, be sure to let it sit overnight uncovered so it becomes stale. If the bread is too soft, your casserole will become soggy.
- This French Toast Casserole can be prepared, covered, and stored in the refrigerator overnight, and then baked the next morning if you choose.
- Make this casserole all year long and mix it up with your favorite fruits. Blackberries, raspberries, peaches, and nectarines are also great!
