Maple French Toast Casserole

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Servings: 8
Course: Breakfast

Ingredients
  

  • Cooking spray
  • 6 cups stale bread cubes
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup Spring Tree™ Maple Syrup plus more for serving
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter cut into small cubes
  • ¼ cup brown sugar divided
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans

Method
 

  1. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange the bread cubes evenly in the prepared dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Spring Tree™ Maple Syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  3. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, making sure all the bread is moistened. Gently press down on the bread to help it absorb the liquid.
  4. Cover the baking dish with foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the bread to fully soak up the custard.
  5. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  7. Sprinkle the brown sugar and chopped pecans over the top of the casserole, dot with butter and cover with foil.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown and the center is set.
  9. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle with extra Spring Tree™ Maple Syrup. Enjoy!
