@5:32 Love the Ina reference 💞 Why do I always picture her cooking in a house, on the coast, with birds and sea grass blowing in the breeze. She is so calming!

[@gritskennedy5007]

You picture her there because that is where you watched her cooking on her shows...

[@hkr3520]

This is AMAZING!! Why did I have to wait 50+ years for such an easy and delicious recipe? This will now be my go-to company brunch recipe!

[@nurturetheearth]

This was my favorite video thus far on your channel. Not only does this look like a yummy recipe but, I appreciate the candid and more transparent nature of cooking/baking. We have spills, missteps and bloopers galore however, made with love, meals for ourselves and/or loved ones come out perfect 🥰 .

Bread Pudding was my favourite as a child. Having parents who lived through rationing during WW2 their recipe was pretty bare bones pudding, but wonderful none the less. Enjoyed this video!

[@LisaGWoods]

Yes I am watching to see if there is a difference in bread pudding and French toast casserole...

[@MeeganMakes]

@@LisaGWoods That’s what I was just wondering, too.

[@genna2586]

Yes, please make bread pudding. So gooood!

I have a loaf of cinnamon bread that is going stale, which was breaking my heart. You just saved it! Would love to see a bread pudding video. Love watching you!!

[@weezefanatic]

John I made your baked Alaska last night and on the weekend I made this french toast casserole for a brunch with friends! It was of course a hit. Your recipes are so great, and your videos are easy to follow. Thank you for all your content!

[@keelangibson6902]

Hi john! I just had to say that I made this for my nephew Liam the first time he slept over at our house. He is 10 and loved it so much that I make it for him every time he comes over. We call it the Liam special. Thanks so much for sharing this and for just being you. ❤

[@ehcimocs2364]

I had a big family brunch that I brought this dish to. It was a hit, so good. And so convenient to put together the night before. Thanks for this recipe.

[@AdonaiDamarjo]

I love how organized your kitchen is.

[@melsockman9615]

I just whipped my egg mixture in my measuring cup. Putting the bread in a large bowl with a lid. I poured the mixture over the bread, placing the lid on, gave it a good shake. Made it so much easier. Haven't baked it yet. Waiting til tomorrow morning. Hopefully it turns out as good as yours looks. French toast is one of my #1 favorites. Thank you!!

[@morrisahj]

Just as I was telling my coworkers about the magic of a French toast casserole that I could bring to a breakfast potluck, here's this video! The timing is scary perfect 😂🙏

[@StretchReality]

Each time I watch your videos I grow more and more in love with your kitchen. It’s beautiful

This is my go to Christmas morning breakfast. The kids are old enough now that they don't get up at the crack of dawn so i'll usually get up and whip this up and brew a pot of coffee. The whole house smells like Christmas morning and it's ready by the time they wake up.

[@brendabanks8758]

I very much enjoy how real you are. I like when you are silly or talk about centering the bowl for the camera etc. I can tell that you still enjoy doing this and that makes it so much more special for the viewer. By the way, your boys are just beautiful. God bless you and your family.

[@maiai2992]

it reminds me one of my grandmother breakfast dishes but she did it with fresh milk and white sugar, I was forgotten it, thank you for reminding me of wonderful childhood memory

[@user-vq7nt9pc3j]

Your KZbin is so wholesome! I’ve made so many of your recipes. My husband is much happier in the stomach thanks to you. lol thank you for your sunshine.

[@lisettebatista8774]

John, after a bad day at work I watch your videos and I recoup! You are my Xanax! Made 8 recipes all have come out amazing! You're my hero

[@laurakaiser7052]

Made the casserole this morning. It turned out great! I used sourdough bread, as it was the only bread left at the store. It's nice that you can make it in the morning and not have to make it the night before.

[@pvtparts90]

I didn't even know French toast casserole was a thing, and here you are giving us the best recipe for it.

[@erint933]

I have to say you're one of my 11 yr old daughter's favorite vlog cooking/baking shows! And I agree, your calmness with kindness really shows and helps anyone with feeling at ease with baking. Great job!! And I love this recipe, thank you! My grandma always made a savory one for Christmas but I want to try this one out. Ps Yes that song is in my head now, lol! I recall as a child not knowing what 'tuppins' were, so I thought they must be some type of bird seed, lol...I was very little, okay! Lol...😂

[@gabriellagregory2888]

I LOVE how you didn’t cut out how many time you messed up !! 😂❤ makes me feel better about myself and how I can mess up a lot sometimes. Thank you for being real!!

[@sherryhaven994]

Best bread pudding I have ever eaten in my life! Everything I have cooked that you have made in a video has turned out absolutely delicious.

[@livesouthernable]

I made your bread pudding recipe for the second time yesterday. It’s a huge hit at my house. Thanks!

[@michellew.6597]

I will be making this for my family next weekend! I love how candid you are in your videos!

[@finleydavis118]

This was the only time I have altered any of your recipes. I cut the butter into the topping and sprinkled on top. Keep the recipes coming. I need a good one for sweet potato biscuits! You make cooking doable for me. Thank you!

[@Sigourneyfamily]

I made this with Hawaiian and Potatoe bread! YES! So cheap to make. It came out so perfect! SOOO GOOD! These recipes really stretch my money. Thank you

[@sunrise2day462]

Great tip on prepping the ingredients the night before for those who don't like to cook major meals in the morning.

[@cherimorrison2388]

I have not tried one of your recipes that I have not absolutely loved. Thank you and keep sharing.

[@duanefitzhugh4093]

I made this for my weekly teacher breakfast buffet. It was a huge hit!

[@flynnmorrow6945]

Thank you, John! I'll be making this for a baptism party! But first I'll need to test it on my family tomorrow. They can't wait!

[@christacrutcher3803]

Just made this for my family and it was amazing! Thank you for your wonderful recipes, love them! ❤

[@lindaayala6541]

I love bacon and maple syrup so I fried up some bite sized bacon and added it to the bread mixture. OMG, so good! Thanks for a great breakfast casserole. The fam will love this next Christmas! ❤️🙏🏼❤️

[@helenmoss9740]

I did the same with a log of breakfast sausage! So good!!

[@shauntel6239]

Please do a bread pudding

[@chrisduffy0728]

I did the same thing. Amazing!

I made not to long ago for dinner for my grandchildren……it was LOVED by all!!

i love all your recipes. you're easy to watch. trying to cut down on my food intake, but that doesn't stop me from watching you make tons of yummy recipes. Thank you!

[@allisonmahler]

Yes to bread pudding!!! It’s my favorite too! So yummy. I’ve made French toast casserole for special occasions when family is coming for breakfast. Great to mix up the night before! I feel like I’m eating bread pudding for breakfast. Yes please.

It is bread pudding.

[@deanneparis8888]

I started watching this video wanting French Toast, now I want bread pudding! I LOVE Mary Poppins!

[@homemclaughlin7830]

I've made this the night before. Put all the ingredients together and covered it with plastic wrap. In the morning add slabs of butter on top, sprinkle w cinnamon and bake it in the oven in the morning. We call it Fench Toast Souffle. It comes out puffy and delicious. I make it for Christmas morning. While we are opening gifts...breakfast is cooking.

[@teacherlaurasenglishlangua9632]

That teacup at the top of the video is spectacular and so perfect to go with your amazing baking recipes. LOVE your videos.💫

Another recipe from you that comes out perfect the first time! I just want to thank you for all of your little extra tips and pointers that you include in your videos and recipes. However, you failed to mention the Amazing caramelized crunch from the brown sugar! OMG!! 😍

“I feel like every breakfast recipe is really a bleary eyed ‘what’s happening? Who needs to eat?’ Situation…” 😂 hilarious. Just tickled me.

Yay! I love a sleepy John cooking for us! That video was so fun to watch and looked delicious. Definitely making this soon👍

[@hemicardia935]

Years ago, family found a recipe in a farming magazine for blueberry french toast casserole, very similar to this. Day old bread cubes soaked in a mixture of a dozen eggs, vanilla, milk and maple syrup, topped with blueberries and cubes of cream cheese tucked throughout. It also came with a recipe for a blueberry syrup and it's still a family favorite to this day.

[@hemicardia935]

@@suzannehayes5793 it's very dense, but it's amazing. One of the best things about it is that even if that you kinda just toss in enough ingredients to fill the pan with no real measurements and bake until the center's not jiggly, it never disappoints.

[@amom2go101]

That sounds amazing as well

[@vanessacarpenter9010]

This sounds amazing as well. Would love the recipe

[@gaillynn2130]

I make this recipe for Christmas Brunch and all love it . Making it for a Mother’s Day brunch this coming weekend. Thanks so much for the recipe 👍👍

Never seen a Preppy Kitchen video before but I’m sold on it! Great personality and beautiful kitchen.

[@teresabrockett7525]

Yum! My grandmother made amazing bread puddings. My favorite bread is day old croissants or challah. We've always had "French toast pudding" for Easter breakfast with cubed cream cheese and either fresh raspberries or blueberries in it and real Maple syrup. Heavenly. :)

[@Anita3kidsS.]

French toast pudding....is this another name for recipe OR Bread pudding? Sry migraine ...brain is in a fog . Ty ~Anita

[@teresabrockett7525]

@@Anita3kidsS. yes, Anita, its very similar. Traditionally, bread puddings are simply made, no cream cheese or fruit. Our French Toast Pudding has both, is baked and served warm with maple syrup. You can find the recipes online, but they are usually called French Toast Bake. :)

Thank you preppy kitchen uncle... 💝😄 Praise God

Wow John, that looks great. It would perfect for breakfast, especially on the weekends 😋 😊

Toppins is one of the best songs Julie Andrews has ever sung. Her voice and that melody together are so peaceful.

'Tuppence', slang for two pence (two pennies) I agree, though~

Hi, In UK we put slices of buttered bread in a dish in layers with some sultans, add the egg custard, and grated nutmeg on top and bake, there are lots of variations, and we call it Bread and butter pudding

[@mumps59]

Yes, Feed the Birds! Mary Poppins was the first movie I remember seeing in a theater, and then my parents bought me the soundtrack and I wore the grooves off that LP on my little Decca record player. 😊. Thanks for posting this.

[@harvest_dragon6115]

I found your channel last week. I tried this recipe early yesterday morning. It was very good and easy! It was a lot for just my husband and myself so I gave the rest to our grandkids next door and they loved it! I noticed your milk choice, that was our milk until we went out of dairying a couple years ago :(. I have also tried a couple other recipies "ALL VERY GOOD" ... I am happy to have found your channel.

[@hiroran9796]

Yes please. Any recipe that can be made with simple and common ingredients is helpful for snacks.

[@sgfragile2166]

I tried a similar recipe from a different channel and all the egg gathered at the bottom.. What came out was sweet bread stuck to the pan by egg. I can't wait to try this one, I'm hopeful that it'll turn out delicious!

[@lisawhite3742]

I dig this. French toast is usually my thing to make when I’m low on groceries, so it’s always sandwich bread soaked in an egg and milk mixture with some cinnamon. This takes it up several levels. I might even get crazy and throw some bacon in the batter.

[@MissPerion]

Omg. Yes. Like that idea

[@fathima2745]

Can you please do a kitchen tour….please ….and I’m a huge fan of both you and your recipes….I try all of your recipes within a week you upload it….and they’re simply awesome ♥️♥️

[@alcole6537]

The first time I made this, it was really dry. Ever since, when I make it, I double the amount of eggs, milk, and other ingredients. The bread is much more moist when it’s baked. Delicious!

[@tinachavez5489]

I've never tasted bread pudding in my life so I would love to see how it's made.

[@PreppyKitchen]

It's so good!

[@TheYayoii]

Wat

[@donnadickey276]

Since I pretty much experiment with most recipes, I used brioche bread instead of french bread and added 1/4 tsp. of nutmeg to egg mixture. Served to out-of-town guests, and we all loved it! Might try adding pumpkin puree to egg mixture next. Yum!

[@hm3drake35]

I going to ask about Brioche, so thanks for the comment.

I've watched SO many of your videos and have loved every one of them, but I have to comment on this one - just two days ago at work I had that same song - "Feed the birds, tuppence a bag, tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag..." stuck in my head and I could NOT get it out of my head! I have no idea why I even started singing it, but I couldn't stop - I love that movie! Thank you for sharing all these amazing recipes with us (SO YUMMY), and if you're ever interested in a recipe or two from the Carolinas I don't mind sharing...

I am assuming someone else mentioned this John ... you mentioned stale bread works well for this... in fact, in FRENCH French toast is called PAIN PERDU ( or lost bread ) so they would craftily used stale bread instead of throwing it out.

Yummy! We call this recipe Bread & Butter Pudding in the UK. Traditionally, it has raisins or sultanas added and the bread is sliced and buttered, but I make it with Panettone (and don't let the bread soak for too long or it will go to a mush)..

[@diananuttman8291]

That looks amazing! I make a Blueberry Stuffed French Toast in casserole form, but I bet I could alter it to be in chunks like this! Thanks for the idea 👍
