You'll love this French Toast Casserole because it's a simple yet indulgent treat. This recipe works with any fluffy sweet bread 🥖 or stale bread that has been sitting out for a few days.
0 Preheat the oven to 350F (175C).
1 Tightly line an oven-safe baking dish with slices of sweet bread, making sure there are no visible spaces. If necessary, cut smaller pieces of sweet bread to fill in any gaps.
3 In a bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Add in the milk and whisk really well.
4 Pour the egg mixture on top of the bread making sure all the slices are covered.
5 You will notice the sweet bread will rise up from the milk mixture, so take a spoon and gently push down until the bread has absorbed the milk and the bread is no longer lifted.
6 Sprinkle a little extra sugar on top and put it in the oven.
7 Bake for about 45 minutes or until golden. Ours took 45 minutes but please keep an eye on it. It will puff up a lot and then deflate when you take it out of the oven.
8 Let cool completely before dusting with icing sugar and enjoy!
9 If you don’t want to add icing sugar you don’t have to cool the pudding before serving; the only reason we do this is so that the powdered sugar doesn’t melt right away.
