Ingredients
For the casserole:
1 loaf of bread, cut or torn into small pieces (try bread such as light multigrain, sourdough, or french bread)
8 eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 cup cream
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
For the topping:
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup oats
4 Tbsp cold butter
Fresh Fruit to serve after baking
Instructions
- Grease or spray 9×13 casserole baking dish.
- Add bread cubes to the greased baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, cream, brown sugar, vanilla, and spices. Whisk to combine.
- Pour egg mixture over bread cubes, making sure bread cubes soak up the mixture by gently poking and stirring with a fork or spoon.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight (or if making the same day, let sit for at least 20 minutes).
- Heat oven to 350F.
- Remove baking dish from the fridge while the oven heats up.
- While oven is heating, make streusel topping by combining cinnamon, salt, oats and butter in a bowl. Working with a pastry cutter, a fork, or your hands, begin cutting the butter into the mixture, until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Uncover the baking dish and sprinkle the topping over the top of soaked bread cubes.
- Place the baking dish in the heated oven. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving with fruit.
