FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE


A very yummy addition to any breakfast, especially when there are people spending the night, or you want to have a nice warm breakfast for the kids before they go to school.   You can make ahead and refrigerate overnight ready to bake in the morning.  

Ingredients:
1 loaf French or Italian bread
8 large eggs
2 cups half and half
1 cup milk
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Dash salt

Tear the bread into big chunks and set aside in bowl.  Spray Pam  into a 13 x 9 dish.   Spread the bread all over the pan evenly.   In a large bowl, put the eggs, half and half , milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt.   Beat well with a whisk until totally blended.

Pour mixture over the bread.  Make sure it's all covered evenly .   

Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat over to 350 degrees.  Bake for at least 45 minutes or until it's browned and fluffy and the edges bubbling.  

Remove from oven and serve with maple syrup or powdered sugar.
