(Gluten Free) French Toast Bake: Make ahead breakfast casserole

We were invited out for breakfast Saturday morning, but, knowing how my kids would much prefer a laid-back Saturday morning at the house, I offered to host a brunch. I had been sent a sampler pack of Udi’s Gluten Free Bread loaves and searched for a recipe that I could prepare the night before, using their bread. I finally combined a few recipes and came up with my own: Gluten Free French Toast Bake, a make-ahead breakfast casserole. This recipe can be prepared Gluten Free by using Gluten Free breads and flour, or “regular” using whole wheat flour and a loaf of your favorite bread. Plan to make most of this breakfast casserole the night before–it’s ideal for a homemade breakfast on a busy Christmas morning.

Gluten Free French Toast Bake

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf Udi’s Gluten Free Bread (I used whole grain)
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 cups milk (the fatter, the better), 3/4 cup milk (separated)
  • 1/3 cup of butter, plus butter for spreading on a pan
  • 3 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup flour (you could use Gluten Free to make this a GF recipe)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick cold butter, cut into small pieces

Get Cooking

  1. The Day Before
  2. grease bottom of 13×9 baking dish with butter;
  3. Tear loaf of bread to pieces and lay it onto the baking dish. I didn’t use most of the crust and definitely not the ends, but there’s nothing wrong with using the crust. Set aside;
  4. Melt 1/3 cup of butter; add 3/4 cup of milk, and bring to boil. Pour 1/2 cup into a medium mixing bowl (and discard the rest). You just made heavy cream!
  5. Add eggs, 2 cups milk, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 2 cups sugar to mixing bowl and mix;
  6. Pour over bread, cover tightly, and let set in the refrigerator overnight.
  7. Mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl; add butter pieces; mix very well… it’s tempting to shortcut… don’t. Place in refrigerator overnight.
  8. In the morning
  9. Preheat oven to 350;
  10. sprinkle cinnamon mixture over casserole and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour (the longer, the drier and thicker… use your judgment, and your taste buds);
  11. Serve in single servings with butter, syrup, powdered sugar, caramel, or whipped cream as toppings.

Believe it or not, I had a picture. It was a beautiful picture. The picture is gone, and I’m sad. I do plan to make this again on Christmas morning, so I’ll take a picture of it then. Thanks to Udi’s for the bread!
