With Mother’s day quickly approaching this weekend I thought that it was a perfect time to share this recipe with you. This French Toast Casserole is a favorite at my house on Christmas, Easter, Mother’s Day, anytime I can justify making it! I have even made it for ~shhh~ dessert!

It is super easy, delicious, and oh how I wish I could say low in calories! This wonderful make ahead dish is thrown together the night before and just popped in the oven. So, if you have a husband like mine, you could make it the night before, stick a post it on it with directions, and cross your fingers. 😉

I put this french toast casserole together this morning, in just a few minutes. I have to take my Grandma to the airport in Jacksonville tomorrow and thought it would make a delicious breakfast! So, that being said. I don’t have the “finished product” pictures yet. However, I have made this enough times to tell you that it comes out perfect and delicious. I hope your family loves this as much as mine does.

How to Make French Toast Casserole

In a small saucepan melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar. Stir constantly until caramel sauce forms.

Pour sauce into 13×9 inch baking dish.

Slice or dice bread. You can use any kind French, Cuban, Sandwich, Gluten Free; you name it, it works. Place bread in 13×9 pan on top of caramel sauce. You can arrange it fancy or just toss it in.

In a large bowl beat 6 eggs.

Whisk in 2 cups of milk. I use soy milk, but you can use any kind that suits your family’s needs.

Add the Cinnamon and nutmeg.

Gluten Free

You can make this delicious breakfast gluten free. You just have to use your favorite gluten free bread.

Dairy Free

If you are looking for a dairy free version of this it is very easy to adapt. Just use your favorite dairy free milk (I recommend coconut milk). You also want to use a dairy free margarine in place of butter.

Storage

This recipe can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge. Bake the morning you would like to enjoy it. If there are any leftovers (which I doubt), you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
