Sourdough French Toast Casserole

Step 1

Prepare a 9 x 13 (or similar size) baking dish with non-stick spray. Cut the loaf of bread into bite-sized cubes and place them in the pan in an even layer.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl add the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, nutmeg, and vanilla and whisk to combine. Pour the mixture over the bread cubes and use a large spoon to mix and coat all of the pieces. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Step 3

The next morning, preheat the oven to 350°F. Take the pan out of the fridge and give the bread another gentle mix so that the egg mixture gets evenly distributed.

Step 4

While the oven is preheating, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cubed cold butter in a mixing bowl. Use a pastry cutter, a fork, or your hands to combine the mixture into a crumble. Mix in the pecans and spread out evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 5

Bake for 45 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and serve with maple syrup. Refrigerate any leftovers covered for 1-2 days.
