Make breakfast a little easier with this French toast casserole by Tia Mowry’s Quick Fix on YouTube. This sounds unique and a lot of food to serve to a big group of people. Casseroles are normally easy to make and it’s a great comfort breakfast food. The presentation of this french toast casserole looks amazing. If you want to make a healthier version, make sure to not add too much sugar too. This would be a good breakfast to have as a leftover for several days of breakfast too.
Ingredients:
- 10 cups assorted bread, cut or torn into 1 in pieces
- 1 ½ cup dark chocolate chips, optional
- 8 eggs
- 3 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Topping:
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup old fashion oats
- ½ cup pecans, finely chopped
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
Directions:
First, prepare a 9 x 13 baking dish with a tablespoon of butter. Use a day-old bread and break them into pieces. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until frothy.
Next, sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the bread. Once the egg mixture is ready, pour over the bread mixture. Gently mix until all bread is coated. Cover with aluminum foil and place it in the fridge overnight. Continue to watch Tia Mowry’s Quick Fix tutorial on YouTube for full instructions and details.
Overall, this would be a cool recipe to try out because you can use any kind of day-old bread. Whether it’s hamburger buns, bagels, or regular sandwich slices, it will work out for this recipe. Plus, it keeps the less soggy if a day-old bread is used. I can only imagine what it would be like with old bagel pieces, but I like the idea of it.
