Here’s a simple and delicious Crock Pot French Toast Casserole 🍞🥚 recipe—perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch:
Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
- 1 loaf of bread (brioche, challah, or white bread), cut into cubes
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup heavy cream (optional, for extra richness)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries, or nuts
Instructions
- Prepare the Crock Pot
- Lightly grease the crock pot with butter or non-stick spray.
- Place cubed bread evenly in the crock pot.
- Mix the Custard
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream (if using), brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
- Pour the mixture evenly over the bread cubes.
- Press the bread gently into the custard so it soaks evenly.
- Cook
- Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or on high for 2–3 hours, until the eggs are set and the top is slightly golden.
- Serve
- Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
✅ Tips:
- Use slightly stale bread for better texture; it soaks up the custard without getting too mushy.
- Add mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or sliced fruit for extra flavor.
- You can prep the night before—assemble in the crock pot, refrigerate overnight, and cook in the morning.
