40+ Best Brunch Ideas

medium red bell pepper, diced

cups Parmesan cheese, shredded

large eggs

whole milk

teaspoon Dijon mustard

fresh green onions, finely chopped

teaspoon garlic powder

teaspoon salt

teaspoon ground black pepper

Grease a 9x13-inch casserole pan with some oil or butter and arrange chopped bread evenly in the pan.

Spread the bell peppers, ham, and cheese evenly over the bread.

In a large mixing bowl, add eggs, milk, mustard, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk well until evenly combined.

Pour the egg custard mixture evenly over the bread. Use a spatula to press down gently to ensure that all the bread pieces are soaked with the egg custard.

Cover the casserole pan with plastic cling wrap and set aside for at least 20 minutes. You can also store it in the fridge overnight until ready to bake, for an easy make ahead breakfast.

Bake for 55 to 60 minutes until golden brown on the edges and the egg mixture is completely set (or a knife inserted near the center comes out clean).

There’s nothing better than waking up to the smell of a warm, sweet, and comforting Overnight French Toast Casserole baking in the oven.

Overnight French Toast Casserole

French bread (or challah

eggs

milk

heavy cream

sugar

brown sugar

tbsp vanilla extract

cinnamon

nutmeg

salt

pecans (optional, chopped)

Powdered sugar

Maple syrup

butter

all-purpose flour

syrup

Prepare the Bread: Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread the cubed bread evenly across the dish.

Mix the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread, making sure all the cubes are coated. If you like, sprinkle chopped pecans over the top for added crunch.

Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the bread to soak up all the eggy goodness.

Make the Streusel Topping: In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon with a fork or pastry cutter until it forms a crumbly mixture. Cover and refrigerate this until you're ready to bake.

Bake the Casserole: When you're ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take the casserole out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature while the oven heats up. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the casserole.

Bake: Bake the casserole, uncovered, for 45-50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve with warm maple syrup.
