Toast Recipe • Cinnamon Swirl French Toast Casserole

This warm, sweet cinnamon roll casserole is a great twist on French toast, kind of like a French toast casserole and custard mixed. We have it every Christmas morning. Serve with whipped cream and either blackberry or strawberry preserves.

Ingredients

• 1 stick butter, or as needed
• 1 (16 ounce) loaf cinnamon swirl bread (such as Pepperidge Farm®)
• 1 ½ cups milk
• ¼ cup white sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• teaspoon salt

Cooking Directions

1. Butter 6 slices of cinnamon swirl bread; place butter-side down into a casserole dish. Butter 6 more slices of bread and place butter-side down on top of other slices.
2. Mix milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt together in a bowl and pour over bread. Let sit for 8 hours to overnight.
3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4. Place casserole dish inside a larger pan; pour water into the outside pan, making sure not to get water into the casserole.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, about 50 minutes.
