Scale
Bread Mixture:
- 1 loaf of French bread, cubed
- 8 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Add the cubed French bread and toss until evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to a greased slow cooker.
- Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the topping over the bread mixture in the slow cooker.
- Cook the Casserole: Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or until the French toast is set and the top is golden brown. Serve warm with maple syrup and fresh berries, if desired.
Notes
- This casserole can be assembled the night before and stored in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
