This make ahead French Toast Casserole recipe is easy to put together and a great breakfast or brunch for the holidays.

Hello there!  Today I am sharing a simple and scrumptious recipe for overnight French Toast Casserole.  With the holiday season coming up, I am all about planning and make ahead recipes.  The last thing I need to worry about is trying to figure out what to feed the family amongst the business.  This ooey gooey crunchy french toast casserole is a for sure recipe to put on your menu this year.  You can make this casserole the night before and you probably already have all the ingredients needed at home.  Just refrigerate overnight and bake the next morning for breakfast.  This sweet casserole is a must try!

Growing up as a kid french toast was always one of my favorite breakfast recipes but I usually only got to eat it on special occasions.  I definitely prefer sweet dishes for breakfast over savory ones.  If you are more into savory recipes, check out my Loaded Breakfast Casserole.  It has lots of savory components to the dish.  Anyway, getting back to this french toast casserole.  All you need are a few simple and easy ingredients to make this recipe. It’s just a loaf of french bread, eggs, milk, half and half, vanilla, cinnamon, flour, brown sugar, butter and a special ingredient, vanilla sugar.  Of course, if you don’t have vanilla sugar you can use regular granulated sugar but I would recommended making your own with vanilla beans.  Doesn’t that list of ingredients sound good?  You can’t go wrong!
