How to Make Overnight French Toast Cream Cheese Casserole
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, gently whisk together 6 large eggs, 2 cups milk, 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Cut 10 slices of bread into 1-inch cubes.
- Layer half of the bread cubes in the prepared baking dish.
- Evenly distribute 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, cut into small cubes, over the bread.
- Top with the remaining bread cubes.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and cream cheese.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
- In the morning, let the casserole sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- If using, sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, or your favorite) over the top, gently pressing them into the custard.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until golden brown and set. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
- Let cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with extra maple syrup, if desired.
