Holiday French Toast Casserole
French toast in the morning (especially Christmas morning) - there's nothing better! But who wants to spend the holiday frenzy cooking it slice by slice? Make a casserole instead! It has all of the goodness of regular French toast, but none of the wait time.
Ingredients
- 4 large Croissants Cube and leave out the night before making the casserole. It will absorb the egg/milk mixture better if it’s on the dry side.
- 6 Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- ¼ cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 tbsp Magnolia-Star Pure Vanilla Extract
- ¼ cup Granulated white sugar
- 1 tsp Member's Mark™ Ground Cinnamon
- Powdered sugar for serving
- Member's Mark™ Pecan Halves for topping
Instructions
- The night before making this recipe, cut the croissants into 1-inch cubes and place on a baking sheet. Let sit overnight.
- Preheat oven to 250℉. Grease an 8x11-inch pan.
- Grease or butter an 8×11 pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, sugar, and Member's Mark™ Ground Cinnamon.
- Add the cubed bread pieces to the bowl and stir until well-coated. Add the mixture to the prepared pan. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes. The total bake time is 40 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar, sprinkle with Member's Mark™ Pecan Halves, and cut into squares. Serve with warm maple syrup or whipped cream.
