John Spencer, Deli-Food Service Director at Lee's joined us to make an easy French toast casserole that comes together with ingredients you likely already have on hand.
French Toast Casserole Ingredients:
• Brown sugar: Brown sugar, in the French toast and in the topping, adds warmth and sweetness.
• Butter: A stick of butter adds richness and flavor.
• Bread: Choose a sturdy loaf that can stand up to the thick sauce, such as crusty
French bread. Some reviewers suggest using challah or sourdough.
• Eggs: Six whole eggs are key to the rich, custardy texture.
• Milk: Use whole or 2 percent milk.
• Vanilla: Two teaspoons of vanilla extract enhances the flavor and lends a touch of complexity.
• Cinnamon: A cinnamon-brown sugar mixture is sprinkled over the French toast casserole just before baking.
French Toast Casserole Instructions:
1. Make the French toast: Cook the butter with a cup of brown sugar until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved, then pour the mixture into a prepared baking dish. Scatter the bread pieces over the butter mixture. Mix the milk, vanilla, and eggs together, then pour over the bread.
2. Refrigerate: Cover the casserole and transfer to the fridge. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or up to overnight.
3. Bake the casserole: Remove the casserole from the fridge and uncover. Sprinkle with a mixture of brown sugar-cinnamon, then bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is browned and bubbling.
For party trays they can pick the items for you or you can customize your order.
