Recipe Notes

For the French bread, you’ll be cutting the bread into ½ inch to 1-inch cubes. You want about 12-15 cups of bread cubes, enough to fill a 13×9-inch pan, which is almost the whole loaf. We usually just leave out the ends of the loaf.

Use whatever milk makes you happy in this dish. We usually use whole milk, as it’s nice and thick and rich. But, we’ve also used almond milk with great success.

If you’re lactose intolerant the almond milk is a great option.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf French Bread
  • 12 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into chunks

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  • Cut the French bread into ½ to 1-inch cubes, place in a large bowl, and set aside.
  • Mix the eggs, milk, vanilla, and salt together in a medium bowl until frothy, set aside.
  • Place the butter in the bottom of a 13×9 pan, and place the pan in the preheated oven to melt the butter, about 5 minutes. Once the butter is melted, carefully remove the pan from the oven, and tilt the pan to coat the melted butter all over the bottom of the pan and about 1 inch up the sides of the pan.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the bread crumbs, and toss to coat. Pour the egg & bread mixture into the butter coated pan. Bake in 350° oven about 30 minutes, or until eggs are set and casserole looks golden brown.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings, maple syrup, fruit, whipped cream, whatever makes you happy!
