My family has been going through bread like crazy the past few weeks, as always I keep the end pieces. I usually use the end pieces to make bread crumbs, but this morning I decided to do something different with them. I used six end pieces plus two more slices of bread to make the french toast casserole. My kiddos love my french toast, and they loved this recipe as well. I hope you enjoy it.
Ingredients
- 8 slices of bread (I used regular loaf bread.)
- 8 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease 9.5 x 7.5 pan or you could use an 8 x 8 pan ( I greased my pan with coconut oil.)
- Tear bread into pieces. Place bread pieces into the baking dish.
- In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, maple syrup, and cinnamon together.
- Pour mixture over bread pieces into the baking dish. Moving the bread around as necessary to make sure that all the bread pieces will be able to absorb the liquid.
- Let it sit for at least 5-10 minutes. Depending on the type of bread you use, it may take longer for the mixture to be absorbed.
- Bake in the oven until browned for approximately 25-30 minutes.
- If desired, top with maple syrup or powdered sugar.
Notes: You could add in pecans, walnuts, etc.
