How to Prepare French Toast Casserole
🔥 Preheat the oven to 350F (175C). 🍞 Line an oven-safe baking dish with sweet bread slices, filling any gaps with smaller pieces. 🥛 Whisk eggs, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl. Add milk and whisk well. 🥚 Pour the egg mixture over the bread, ensuring all slices are covered. 🥄 Gently push down the rising bread with a spoon to absorb the milk. ⭐ Sprinkle extra sugar on top and bake for about 45 minutes or until golden. 🧊 Cool completely before dusting with icing sugar. If you skip icing sugar, you can serve the pudding without cooling.
