🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water + powdered milk

Almond milk reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

1

Slice the loaf of bread into about 1/2 inch thick slices, leaving the crust on.

Coat a baking dish (13x9 inch or oval) with cooking spray.

3

Arrange the bread slices tightly in the baking dish, stuffing smaller pieces into the edges.

In a separate bowl, crack 5 large eggs and whisk them together.

Add 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 cup of low-fat milk, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg (optional) to the eggs and whisk until well combined.

6

Pour the egg mixture over the arranged bread, ensuring all pieces are coated.

7

Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.

8

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

9

Bake the casserole for 50 to 55 minutes until the egg is set and bubbling.

Let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes before cutting into it.
