Equipment

  • 9x13 baking dish
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

For the Casserole

  • 1 pound loaf of brioche, challah, french bread, or white bread
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract

For the Topping

  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 Tablespoons cold butter cut into pieces

Instructions
 

  • Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 9×13'' baking dish. Cut bread into 1 inch chunks and place in dish.
  • Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Add the cream and milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and vanilla and mix well. Pour evenly over the bread cubes.
  • Gently toss the bread around a little to make sure the top and bottom pieces all get dipped in the egg mixture. Spread out evenly, cover dish, and refrigerate overnight.
  • For the Topping: Place brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl and stir to combine. Cut cold butter into small chunks and add to the bowl. Use a pastry blender or your hands to combine the mixture until crumbly. Cover and refrigerate until morning.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Uncover french toast pan and sprinkle the topping evenly over top. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until top is golden and casserole is set.
  • Allow french toast to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Top with homemade syrup, berries, whipped cream or any other toppings you'd like.
