French Toast Bake

Ingredients

• 1 loaf French bread I also routinely use a loaf of Texas Toast

• 8 eggs

• 2 cups milk

• 1/2 cup heavy cream half and half would work too

• 1/4 cup sugar

• 1/2 cup brown sugar

• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

• 2 teaspoons cinnamon

• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

• 1/2 cup flour

• 1/2 cup brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cut into small squares

Instructions

1. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray and preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a large bowl, add the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.

3. Chop the bread into 3/4 - 1 inch cubes and put it in the bowl with the egg mixture and toss well until all the liquid is absorbed.

4. In a small bowl or a food processor add the flour, remaining brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt and mix.

5. Cut in the butter with a fork or pulse in the food processor for 5-10 seconds or until the butter and brown sugar mixture is crumbly.

6. Pour the bread and egg mixture into the pan, cover evenly with the brown sugar-butter topping and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is crispy and the center is no longer wet.
