French Toast Casserole

I love breakfast foods. Breakfast has got to be my favorite meal. Next to cold, highly sugared, cereal I love French toast. A few years ago I was on a camp out with my church. Our bishop was in charge of making breakfast. He made this casserole in a dutch oven; it was so good! We had it later at a Christmas party as well. I enjoy it so much!

 
I had to take a picture in the pan because my family was already picking at it even though it was still so hot!
What you need:
1 Loaf of cinnamon swirl bread or Texas toast bread cut into cubes
6 Eggs beaten
3 c Milk
2 t Vanilla
2 t Cinnamon
1 c Fresh Raspberries or Blueberries optional
  • Place cubed bread into a greased 13x9 pan
  • Mix eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon and berries if you choose to use them
  • Pour over bread
  • Refrigerate covered overnight or at least one hour (Overnight is the best)
  • Uncover and bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes
  • Sprinkle with confectioners sugar and serve with syrup

My husband liked this because it reminded him of bread pudding. I am going to put raspberries in next time and try to find a custard recipe to put on top. I think that would make it just like the bread pudding we love at Kneaders.
