French Toast Casserole

This easy French Toast Casserole has a soft custard soaked center and a crisp cinnamon-sugar topping. This recipe works best when you prep the casserole the night before, refrigerate overnight, and then bake in the morning. (But if you didn't plan ahead, you can chill it for just 30 minutes in the fridge and then bake.) It's our favorite make ahead breakfast for the holidays!
Ingredients
Instructions
Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Place the bread cubes in an even layer in the dish.
In a large bowl or large liquid measuring cup or batter bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or brown sugar, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, vanilla and salt. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread in the dish.
To make the topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or maple syrup) and cinnamon. Drizzle evenly over the casserole.
At this point, you can refrigerate the casserole overnight (covered) and bake in the morning, or let it rest for at least 30 minutes (in the refrigerator) and then bake right away. (See note below.)
When you are ready to bake the casserole, preheat the oven to 350° F. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for 15-25 minutes more, until the top is lightly browned and the casserole is set. Serve with fresh fruit and maple syrup, as desired.
