Equipment
- 1 9x13 pan
Ingredients
- 1 16-18 oz bread loaf Brioche, French bread, or multigrain bread
- 2 cups eggnog
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
Brown Sugar Topping:
- ⅔ cup brown sugar packed
- ⅓ cup whole wheat pastry flour (or all-purpose flour)
- ⅓ cup rolled oats
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Grease a 9x13 pan and set aside. If baking now, preheat oven to 350℉.
- Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in the prepared pan. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggnog, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour the mixture over the bread pieces, tossing it together so all the bread is coated. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, make the topping by mixing together the brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the melted butter and stir together with a fork until uniform. Sprinkle the topping over the French toast casserole.
- If baking now, place the casserole in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown on the top. If baking next day, cover with foil and place in the fridge overnight. When ready to bake, uncover and bake at 350℉ for 35-40 minutes. Serve!
Notes
Storage Directions
- Refrigerating — Leftovers keep covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freezing — Once cooled to room temperature, transfer the casserole to a freezer-safe container and store for up to 2 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight before reheating.
- Reheating — Warm the pan of eggnog French toast covered in a 325°F oven for 10-15 minutes or individual servings in the microwave on gentle heat for 1-2 minutes or until hot.
