You need this recipe: French Toast Casserole

Uh, yum.

You need:

2-3 tablespoon butter, softened
7ish cups bread cubes

6 eggs
1 cup evaporated milk
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup white sugar (plus 4 tablespoons for top
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350.  While preheating, melt 2-3 Tbsp butter in 9x13 pan in oven.  Remove dish when butter is melted.  Sprinkle bread cubes into dish.  In bowl, beat together eggs, evaporated and regular milk, sugar, salt, vanilla and cinnamon.  Pour over bread cubes.  Lightly toss to coat.

Let sit for about 10 minutes - until the bread absorbs the mixture.


Sprinkle with several tablespoons of sugar and cinnamon, toss it in the oven for about 45 minutes - until the top has browned.  (I've had to leave it in for up to 60 minutes before... just keep an eye on it.)

Serve it with syrup.


Call me and tell me how delicious it is.



*You could also make this with raisin bread.  Whoa, that would be good.
