French Toast Casserole

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Cut brioche bread into 1 inch pieces. Place in a warm oven for about 8-10 minutes to dry slightly, or cut and let stand uncovered on the counter overnight.

Step 3

Whisk together eggs, milk, cream, brown sugar and vanilla in a bowl.

Step 4

Pour wet mixture over bread and very gently toss to coat.  Place in a 8x8" inch baking dish. Allow it to sit least 1 hour (or overnight).

Step 5

Combine topping ingredients and incorporate the butter using a fork or pastry blender until crumbly.

Step 6

Cover the bread mixture with the topping and place in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream or fruit.
