 If you like the breakfast foods of eggs, pancakes, bacon, cream of wheat, oatmeal, etc. —  this French Toast Bake might possibly be a new all-time favorite.  Yes, it’s that good!

Let’s talk about breakfast food, shall we?  I absolutely love it!  Breakfast all day every day?  Yes, please and thank you. Okay, that might get old after awhile, but you know what I mean.

French Toast Bake -- the perfect casserole for breakfast, brunch or dinner. If you like french toast, this recipe will not disappoint. livelaughrowe.comThe BEST French Toast Bake

Are you familiar with Penzey’s?  A fantastic store that sells spices, herbs, and seasonings. Their pasta sprinkle is awesome sauce… as I digress.  This french toast bake recipe was spotted in one of their catalogs.  Mmmmm!

I made it for the first time over the holidays.  Normally, it’s eggs, toast and bacon on Christmas morning. Since I hosted this past year, it seemed like a good time to try this casserole.

Oh my glory! What a delicious recipe, and better yet, everyone loved it.  I hope you can say the same.

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf French Bread 1/2 inch thick and allowed to dry out
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cups half & half
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

Topping

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Grease a 9x13 casserole dish. Layer the dried bread in the bottom of the dish.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, half & half, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix well. Pour over the bread.
  • Pat plastic wrap over the bread and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. Place a couple of small appetizer plates on top of the plastic wrap to keep the bread submerged, if necessary.
  • Preheat oven to 350. Place a piece of foil on the rack to catch any potential dripping. Remove the french toast from the refrigerator.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the butter, maple syrup, brown sugar and chopped pecans. Mix until crumbly.
  • Spoon the topping evenly over the French toast. Bake at 350 for about 1 hour or until puffed and golden. Cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with additional maple syrup, optional.

    A friend has started an annual Holiday Brunch, and this is EXACTLY the type of recipe I wanted last year so we could take something hearty, “kinda sweet” ~ and loaded with CINNAMON (our hostess loves it!).
    Your recipe looks fairly easy because it’s partly make-ahead, and not so costly that I can’t double (even triple) the recipe! I always want to offer much more than needed to serve guests …
    I am thrilled to find this … thanks for sharing, Kelly!

    Looks yummy! I’m allergic to nuts. What do you suggest could be an alternative to pecans?
