Easy French Toast Casserole

10 cups day old french bread, cubed

6 eggs

2 ¼ cup milk

2 tsp cinnamon 

2 tsp vanilla

           Topping:

           5 Tbsp of soften butter, (not melted)

           ½ cup brown sugar 

Lightly spray a 9 by 13 pan with cooking spray. Place bread cubes in an even layer inside the dish. 

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, & vanilla. Pour slowly over bread, stirring until bread is all covered. 

In a small bowl, mix softened butter & brown sugar together.  Sprinkle all over the casserole. I then sprinkled a little cinnamon on top to garish.

At this point, you can refrigerate it overnight or let it rest 20-30 minutes and bake it that day. Bake at 350 with foil for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake another 10-15 minutes.
This is by far one of my NEW favorite french toast recipes! Serve with maple serving and fresh fruit. A side of bacon or sausage never hurts either! EnJoY!
