I’ve wanted to make a french toast casserole for a long time now and so finally I gave it a shot. This isn’t an “official” recipe as much as it is a combination of several recipes that I tossed together to make my own. The measurements are estimates really.

6 eggs
1 c milk
1 c half & half
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp nutmeg
1 French bread loaf (I used the long skinny kind but you can use the thicker shorter kind too – mine was SUPER stale and almost rock-like in nature, which probably helped)

combine all ingredients EXCEPT the bread in a large bowl and beat with whisk until well blended. lightly grease the bottom of a 9×13 (or large casserole dish). Cut the bread into 1 inch slices and lay flat on the bottom of the dish. They MUST be in a single layer. Pour egg mixture over bread, cover and let sit over night. (if your bread is fresh or still very soft you can probably just let it sit for a couple of hours). Heat oven to 400 degrees. Uncover casserole and let it bake for 20 minutes. And then enjoy the deliciousness that is french toast casserole.

I would think a nice praline topping would go well with this, or perhaps a raspberry sauce, but you know top as you see fit.
