-Thick slices of bread (white country loaf, challah, french brioche, or chocolate babka)
-Classic French Toast Custard or Fancy French Toast Custard (see below)
-2 Tbsp Butter, melted
-Maple syrup, for serving
-Butter, for serving
French Toast Casserole Ingredients
-Brioche loaf, cut into 1” cubes
-Classic French Toast Custard or Fancy French Toast Custard (see below)
-Handful of pecans
-Turbinado sugar
-4 Tbsp butter, melted
-3 Tbsp brown sugar
-1 tsp cinnamon
-Pinch kosher salt
-Butter, for serving
-Maple syrup, for serving
Classic French Toast Custard Ingredients
-1 ½ cups whole milk
-2 large eggs
-3-4 Tbsp granulated white sugar
-1-2 tsp real vanilla extract
-½ tsp ground cinnamon
-½ tsp nutmeg
Fancy French Toast Custard Ingredients
-1 ½ cups Half & Half or heavy cream
-3-4 egg yolks
-3-4 Tbsp dark brown sugar
-1-2 tsp vanilla paste or one scraped vanilla bean
-½ tsp nutmeg, grated
-Zest 1 lemon or orange
-Splash of bourbon, rum, or brandy
Tangy Butter for Chocolate Babka Toast Ingredients (Optional)
-8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
-3 Tbsp white sugar
-1 pinch kosher salt
Classic French Toast Method:
1. Start by cutting your bread of choice into thick slices. Place onto a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet. Leave out overnight uncovered, or preheat the oven to its lowest temperature and place the bread in for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Either way, your bread should be nice and dry.
2. For the classic custard, in a large bowl combine 1 ½ cups of whole milk, 2 large eggs, 3-4 tablespoons of granulated white sugar, 1-2 teaspoons of real vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon each of ground cinnamon and nutmeg. Whisk together until combined and no streaks of egg remain.
3. For fancy french toast custard, in a large bowl combine 1 ½ cups of half & half or heavy cream, 3-4 egg yolks, 3-4 tablespoons of dark brown sugar, 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla paste or one scraped vanilla bean, ½ teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg, the zest of a lemon or orange, and a splash of either bourbon, rum, or brandy. Whisk together until fully combined.
4. Once the custard is ready, pour it into a cake pan or pie plate. Grab a piece of thickly cut bread and drop it into the custard, letting it sit for 20-30 seconds on each side.
5. Heat 2 tablespoons of melted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the soaked bread to the skillet and let the bread fry for 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
6. Place onto a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet in a 350°F oven while you cook all of the pieces.
7. Once every piece of toast is complete, stack on a plate, topped with butter and maple syrup.
8. For a tangy butter for the chocolate babka, whip together 8 ounces of room temperature cream cheese with 3 tablespoons of sugar and a pinch of salt.
French Toast Casserole Method:
1. Start by cutting a large loaf of brioche bread into large cubes. Generously butter a casserole dish, making sure to get every inch. Fill dish with the pieces of bread cubes.
2. For the custard, into a large bowl goes 1 ½ cups of whole milk, 5 large eggs, 3-4 tablespoons of granulated white sugar, 1-2 teaspoons of real vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon each of ground cinnamon and nutmeg. Whisk together until combined and no streaks of egg remain.
3. Then pour the custard evenly all over the bread cubes, making sure that every piece is saturated. For good measure, give it a nice messy toss for even custard distribution.
4. Wipe down any mess created from tossing the bread cubes, then cover the dish with a lid. Place in the fridge overnight to bake the next day, or you can bake it immediately.
5. When ready to bake, prepare the topping. In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of melted butter, 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and a pinch of kosher salt. Whisk until completely combined then set aside.
6. Chop a handful of pecans then scatter across the top of the casserole. Then drizzle evenly with the brown sugar butter mixture. Top it off with a few generous pinches of turbinado sugar.
7. Place into a 350°F oven for 35-45 minutes, rotating halfway through baking. Remove when golden brown. Let rest for at least 10 minutes.
8. After 10 minutes, slice and serve, topping with butter and maple syrup.

In Belgium we also eat something called 'pain perdu' or 'verloren brood' which means 'Lost bread'. We call it like this because we usually make it from stale, old bread.

[@robertholtz]

The origin of the dish was finding a use for bread that was otherwise past its prime and starting to become stale. This “lost” bread could be reclaimed and utilized. There’s nothing great cooks and restauranteurs hate more than good food going to waste. Some of the most delicious and amazing dishes in the world originated in this way.

[@crystalfumes4915]

I see no non-French channel speaking about this so I thought I'd just say that the original (and best in my opinion) bread used for french toast is... actual bread ! By that I mean, baguette/sourdough style breads. Once they're stale, they soak up a ton of custard but they have this savory quality that makes a super great french toast

[@cawashka]

In my opinion, stale baguette is the best because of the smaller size of the pieces :)

The French toast casserole reminds me of bread pudding, although I think you have to butter the bread, cover the base and sides of the dish, and then keep adding the custard then a layer of bread then more custard until it's full. I say I think because I've only made it once at least 5 years ago in food tech. I remember it having to be in the oven for 45 mins because it was a 1hr class in the middle of the day, so we couldn't stay a bit later to finish if needed, so we had less than 15 mins to butter the bread, make the custard, and put it in the dish, which is very difficult to do when your in a classroom with 20 people.

I love the idea of a baked French toast casserole for breakfast. It allows you to Prepare a lot of other food products at the same time. It also allows wonderful smells of hot cinnamon and custard to fill the kitchen helping wake people up in the morning. I usually use slices of bread like lasagne sheets in the casserole dish. There are some advantages to cutting it up into squares and some advantages I can see in leaving the bread like lasagne sheets. I think you have more advantages to the small squares… Although if you leave them like lasagne sheets you can also put layers in the middle of them like chocolate or Marshmallow or strawberry jam and serve them like French toast sandwiches. Another thing I like to do with this dish is to learn the very bottom with slices of banana and cover that banana with either golden syrup or maple syrup. If you’re allergic to bananas I believe you could replace the bananas with either slices of Apple, or pear, or white flashed peaches. I have also covered the top instead of pecans used a crumble base topping… Mixing brown sugar butter and oats, or instead of oats.... muesli or crushed up biscuits, or coconut. My favourite way to serve this with a scoop of raspberries or mixed berries to the side. I also like it with home made stewed fruit like white flesh peaches, or Tamarillo. And if you’re not allergic to bananas it’s amazing with grilled bananas and pineapple covered lightly with rum and maple syrup. A scoop of frozen softserve yoghurt is also very nice.
