French Toast Casserole

This past week I tried my bread maker out for the first time. I kept it super simple just to get a taste of  it. We immediately dug into the warm bread but I made a 2 pound loaf so what better to do with the leftovers then make a French toast casserole. It was delicious, crispy on the top and soft in the middle. We drizzled it with syrup and it was the perfect breakfast!!

Ingredients:

Half a pound (or so) of bread, cut into one inch cubes
6 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tsp sugar
3 cups milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp butter
2 tbsp brown sugar

Directions:

Place the cubed bread in an 8x8 buttered dish
In a large bowl whisk milk, eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla. Pour over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Next day remove from refrigerator about 20 mins before baking. Dot with butter and sprinkle the brown sugar on top
Cook at 350 for about 30 mins. Serve warm with syrup.
