Making French Toast Casserole with My Husband

bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: day-old bread

Whole grain bread is more nutritious, while day-old bread is often cheaper.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk

Almond milk is lower in calories, and evaporated milk can be more affordable.

Break day-old bread into small pieces.

Crack eggs into a large mixing bowl.

Add milk to the egg mixture.

Add cinnamon to the egg mixture.

Add vanilla extract to the egg mixture.

Add salt to the egg mixture and mix well.

Butter a baking dish to prevent sticking.

Pour the egg mixture over the broken bread and spread it out evenly.

In a separate bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, pecans, oats, and flour to make the praline topping.

Mix the praline topping ingredients together until combined.

Sprinkle the praline topping over the bread and egg mixture.

Refrigerate the assembled dish overnight to allow the bread to soak up the egg mixture.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake the casserole in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes.

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Drizzle syrup over the baked French toast casserole before serving.
