Breakfast Casserole

Care for a slice?

This French toast like breakfast casserole is a favorite in my home. I make a large batch so it can be munched on for a few days.

I used whole wheat bread, but you could use French bread or any other type of bread.

• 9 pieces of whole wheat bread
• 1/2 cup of brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
• 1 cup of dried cranberries (or other dried berry of your choice)
• 8 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 & 1/2 cups of milk
• 1 tablespoon of vanilla

1. Spray a baking dish with non-stick spray. Arrange the bread in layers, sprinkle cranberries over each layer.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon
3. Pour the liquid mixture over the bread.  Make sure that all the bread is covered in the egg mixture.  *I use my hands to mash the bread slices up.*

It looks like this....pre baking

4. Cover the baking dish with foil and refrigerate overnight.

5. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.  Bake covered for 40 minutes.  Remove the foil and bake for 5-10 minutes more.

6.  Let the casserole stand for 5 minutes before serving.
