How to Make French Toast Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Generously grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  3. Add 4 cups of 1-2 day old bread, cubed, to the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle 1/2 cup raisins evenly over the bread.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 2 cups milk, 4 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are moistened.
  6. Dot the top with 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes.
  7. Let the casserole stand for 15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
  8. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1-2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
  9. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
  10. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and set, and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with your favorite maple syrup or pancake syrup.
