How to Make Baked French Toast Casserole With Maple Syrup
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Slice a loaf of French bread (approximately 1 pound) into 20 slices, each 1 inch thick.
- Generously butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Arrange the bread slices in the prepared dish in 2 overlapping rows.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 2 cups half-and-half, 1 cup milk, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring all are saturated. Gently spoon some of the mixture between the slices to ensure even soaking.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours).
- In the morning, remove the casserole from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking to allow it to come to room temperature slightly.
- Evenly spread your favorite praline topping (about ½ cup) over the bread (recipe not included).
- Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed, golden brown, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Drizzle generously with pure maple syrup and enjoy!
