Sweet and fluffy Overnight French Toast! This easy French toast casserole is assembled the night french toast crunch, so in the morning, all you do is bake.
A pan of healthy overnight French toast casserole. Pillowy soft slices of bread soaked in a cinnamon-, maple-, and vanilla-spiked egg mixture, showered in cinnamon-sugar fairy dust, then baked until it’s lightly golden on top and custardy underneath, this large-scale version of classic French toast is ideal for a crowd. Though, if you want to make overnight French toast for two instead, I promise you and whoever is lucky enough to share it with you won’t mind the additional servings in the least! As the casserole rests, the bread absorbs the custard. The next morning, all you have to do is pop the French toast into the oven, sit back, and wait as your kitchen fills with the tantalizing scents of fresh bread and warm cinnamon. Overnight French Toast is every bit as heavenly as it sounds, especially once you top it with a drizzle of maple syrup! Or my preferred combo of maple syrup, banana slices, and peanut butter.
Made more wholesome with whole wheat bread. A passionate believer in make-ahead breakfast recipes, especially when I am entertaining, overnight French toast casseroles like this one are not new to me. In the past, I’ve tempted you with versions like Blueberry French Toast Casserole and Peach French Toast. Until today, however, I had not yet shared an ever-reliable, always-satisfying recipe for a simple, classic Overnight French Toast. This overnight French Toast tastes like the classic French toast I remember my dad making for my sisters and me when we were little girls. It’s simple and comforting, and I’ll never grow weary of starting my morning with a big ol’ slice. Make it the night before and bake in the morning!
