Christmas Day is fast approaching and French toast casserole is one of the most popular things to serve for Christmas breakfast - or at least it probably will be this year. Don’t believe me? A few hours ago, Google Trends showed this as being a top keyword - which means that tons of people were online searching for recipes. Even if just a fraction of those people make it on Christmas Day, that still translates to a lot of households serving it for breakfast.

What is French Toast Casserole?

Essentially, this is a recipe that allows you to prepare the French toast the night before in a casserole dish. Just pop it in the oven while opening presents. After the morning festivities are done, the casserole will be ready. Even if you do assemble it in the morning (and it comes out better if you do) this is still an easy breakfast solution.

How do you make it?

The basic ingredients are bread cubes, milk, eggs, cinnamon, and sugar. That’s it. You can follow a recipe if you wan, but it isn’t necessary. Just cut the bread into cubes. Beat eggs and milk together. Add some sugar and cinnamon. Arrange the bread at the bottom of a buttered baking dish. Pour over egg and milk. Sprinkle with some cinnamon and sugar. Bake at 350 degrees until golden, about 45 minutes.

But If You Do Want to Follow a Recipe…

If I were to make this, I wouldn’t follow a recipe. I’ve made enough French toast in my lifetime to know what works and what doesn’t as far as the proportions go.  And I’m sure my version would come out fine. However, I understand that you may want to follow a French toast casserole recipe so I found one for you.

This isn’t just for Christmas day. The recips is so easy, you can do it whenever you want.
