Baked French Toast

Kate Schat
The perfect way to use up stale bread is to cube it and cover it in egg for an easy French toast casserole.

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups cubed sourdough bread
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen berries or nuts optional

Instructions
 

  • Put bread in a 10” cast iron skillet. Whisk together the rest.
  • Cover (the oven safe lid from one of my stainless steel pots fits this, otherwise use foil) and put in fridge overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 375 F. Bake 30 minutes with lid. Take lid off, bake another 15-30 minutes, depending on how dry or pudding-like you want it.

Notes

  • You can also use a 9" baking dish if you don't have a big enough skillet, but pour carefully to make sure it all fits.
