What you’ll need:
Soft bread, such as brioche bread or challah
Eggnog
Baking spices
Eggs
Maple syrup or other sweetener of your choice
Equipment:
Baking dish (used a 9x13)
How to Make it:
This baked French toast brioche bread recipe is quick and easy! You will want to arrange the sliced bread atop one another (like shingles on a rooftop) and spread it in the baking dish. If you prefer chunks of bread pieces, you can spread them evenly in the dish.
For a tasty brunch, make it ahead the night before and leave it in the refrigerator overnight (or at least 3 hours to soften). Don’t have that kind of time? You can still make it without soaking the bread; it is just as tasty!
Variations:
Not an eggnog fan? That’s fine! Try it with your favorite type of milk or dairy alternative.
If you avoid eggs, try flax eggs or another egg substitute. Make sure the bread product is also egg-free. Substitute regular milk or soy nog for the eggnog.
Gluten-sensitive? Use gluten-free bread!
How to Store/Reheat:
This baked French toast brioche casserole can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, bake at 350 degrees for 10-20 minutes or until warm. For individual servings, microwave for at least one minute.
