Ingredients
10 cups large cubed white bread *see notes below
2½ cups whole milk
6 large eggs
1½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1½ teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons salted butter softened
1 cup light brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare a 9x13 baking dish by spraying it really well with cooking spray.
Spread the cubed bread evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a mixing bowl combine the milk, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir together with a whisk until it's combined well. Set this bowl aside.
In a separate smaller bowl, combine the softened butter and brown sugar. Stir together to form a crumbly mixture.
Pour the milk and egg mixture over the cubed bread. Use your clean hands or a spoon to very gently stir and coat all the bread cubes in the milk mixture. Sprinkle the brown sugar crumble over the top.
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the middle of the pan is set.
Let the French toast casserole cool for 5-10 minutes so it can set. Serve with powdered sugar, syrup, and fresh berries.
