FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE

 
  • 10 cups bread, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 8 eggs
  • 3 cups milk
  • 4 tsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
TOPPING:
  • 2 T. butter or margarine, cubed
  • 3 T. sugar
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon 
Place bread cubes in a greased 9 x 13 baking dish.  In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla.  Pour over bread.  Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or over night.  Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.  Dot with butter.  Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over the top.  Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.  Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.  NOTE:  I usually make this the night before for a very easy hot breakfast!  Is wonderful with maple syrup!
