Easy French Toast Bake

• servings: 12 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 1 hour

Ingredients

1 loaf French bread (I also routinely use a loaf of Texas Toast)

8 eggs

2 cups milk

1/2 cup heavy cream (half and half would work too)

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 cup flour

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cut into small squares)

Directions

Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray and preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, add the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Chop the bread into 3/4 - 1 inch cubes and put it in the bowl with the egg mixture and toss well until all the liquid is absorbed.

In a small bowl or a food processor add the flour, remaining brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt and mix.

Cut in the butter with a fork or pulse in the food processor for 5-10 seconds or until the butter and brown sugar mixture is crumbly.

Pour the bread and egg mixture into the pan, cover evenly with the brown sugar-butter topping and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is crispy and the center is no longer wet.
