The Best French Toast Casserole:
We've tried a couple different French Toast Casserole recipes in the past but some of them can just be too sweet and not incredibly satisfying. I think the fact that this french toast casserole recipe only has 1/2 cup of sugar in the crumb topping is what makes it the best french toast casserole. It's not too sweet and doesn't feel overwhelming when you use syrup or another sweet topping.
How to Make The Best French Toast Casserole:
To make the best french toast casserole all you need to do is mix together all the wet ingredients for your batter. Tear apart your bread into bite size pieces, and toss them into a greased 9x13 pan. Pour the batter on top, along with your prepared crumb topping. Bake your french toast casserole in the oven for about 40 minutes, and then enjoy with your family!
Which Bread to Use for The Best French Toast Casserole:
You can use any type of bread that you have on hand. We've even used a loaf of sandwich bread in the past. A nice loaf of bread from the bakery section of the grocery store is preferred. You could us a loaf of Italian, sourdough, Challa, etc... I prefer sourdough just because it gives a nice contrast to this otherwise very sweet dish.
