How to Make French Toast Casserole
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Butter a 13x9 inch baking pan generously and set it aside.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar until it's fully dissolved and smooth. Pour this mixture into the bottom of your buttered baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Layer the bread cubes atop the brown sugar/butter mixture in the pan.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a medium-sized bowl. Pour this creamy custard over the bread cubes. Sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
- Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
