🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk

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

Cube 8 ounces of French bread and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 6 eggs, 2 cups of milk, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until well blended.

In a saucepan, melt 1 stick of butter with 1/4 cup of brown sugar, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.

Spread the butter and brown sugar mixture along the bottom of the casserole dish.

Add the cubed bread over the butter mixture in the dish.

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

Cover the dish and refrigerate overnight to allow the bread to absorb the custard.

Before baking, mix together 1/4 cup of brown sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle it over the top of the casserole.

Bake the casserole in the oven for about 30 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.

Serve with a scoop of caramel from the bottom, topped with berries and a drizzle of syrup and powdered sugar.
