In this French Toast Casserole recipe, I used fresh yeast bread from the bakery, but regular sandwich sourdough would work too. Actually, you can use any type of bread including white, whole wheat, etc.<\/p>\n
Here’s what else you need:<\/strong><\/p>\nThe streusel topping really makes the recipe for this easy French Toast Casserole! It is basic and made of 4 ingredients. Here’s what you need:<\/strong><\/p>\n\nwhite whole wheat flour<\/strong> – Option to use AP flour.<\/li>\npecans<\/strong> \u2013 Walnuts will work too!<\/li>\nBrown sugar<\/strong> -Feel free to use coconut flour instead.<\/li>\nbutter <\/strong>-Coconut oil works just as well, but butter actually tastes better and we recommend it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nCut the Bread: <\/strong>Use a sharp knife to cut the sourdough bread into approximately 1 to 1.5 inch bread cubes or pieces. Then, put the pieces in a greased casserole dish. Add chopped pecans and toss.<\/li>\nBeat the egg mixture: <\/strong>Mix together eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, milk, and spices. Be sure not to over mix!<\/li>\nMix French Toast:<\/strong> Pour the egg mixture over the cut dough and use your hands to press the bread into the liquid, making sure everything is completely dipped and coated.<\/li>\nlet sit:<\/strong> Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or a lid and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or overnight.<\/li>\nbake: <\/strong>Cover the baking dish with tin foil and then bake at 350\u00baF for 30 minutes.<\/li>\nStreusel Topping:<\/strong> While the casserole is cooking, make the streusel topping. Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and mix to combine. Make sure your butter is not completely melted so that it remains more like pieces than a paste.<\/li>\nBake again: <\/strong>After 30 minutes, remove from the oven, sprinkle on the streusel topping and bake for another 15 minutes or until the center is cooked through.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nI recommend leaving your French Toast Casserole out overnight so the bread has time to absorb all the magic of the eggy milk! Don’t want to wait that long? Here are 2 options for you:<\/p>\n
\n
Once you’ve prepared this easy French Toast Casserole recipe you essentially have 2 options for serving it:<\/p>\n
\nYou can either pop it in the oven or refrigerate overnight for an easy morning breakfast.<\/li>\n Or, you can refrigerate it for 30 minutes and bake it immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nKnow that they both work and taste great too. It really depends on your personal plan and how much time you have for breakfast preparation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Can I use different breads for this recipe? <\/strong> <\/p>\nYes, we prefer sourdough for this recipe but you can use your favorite bread. Cinnamon bread, bagels, brioche bread or even challah bread would be delicious. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
You’re welcome to eat your French toast as is, but here are some of my favorite ways to top it:<\/p>\n
\nMaple syrup <\/strong>– It’s a gift and very tasty!<\/li>\npeanut butter <\/strong>– You may think this sounds weird, but this is how I personally eat my French toast! Try it and let me know what you think.<\/li>\nCurd<\/strong> – An easy way to add more protein.<\/li>\nfresh fruits <\/strong>– Any type of fresh fruit is delicious. For starters, eat banana or blackberries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\nPreheat oven to 350\u00baF and spray a 10 x 7-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nUse a knife to cut your sourdough into pieces about 1 to 1.5 inches wide. If your dough is fresh from the bakery, it may be easier to tear into pieces with your hands. Place bread in casserole dish.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\nThen, sprinkle with 1 cup chopped pecans and mix with the sourdough pieces.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\nIn a large bowl, whisk together eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, milk, and salt.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nPour the egg mixture over the dough and use your hands to dip the bread into the egg mixture. You want to make sure you do this to completely cover all of the bread pieces.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\nIf you want to bake it immediately, refrigerate it overnight or for at least 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\nMake the streusel topping by mixing together white whole wheat flour, chopped pecans, brown sugar and butter. Mix not to make a paste, but to make a crumble. This will depend on how soft your butter is, so be sure not to melt it completely.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\nRemove the French toast bake from the refrigerator and use your hands to dip the bread once more in the egg mixture before baking. Cover with tin foil and bake at 350\u00baF for 30 minutes, covered. Remove and add streusel topping. Bake uncovered for 15-25 minutes, depending on how moist you like your French toast.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\nLet cool for at least 5-10 minutes before slicing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\nAlternative to using store-bought bread that is used for sandwiches. Make sure to measure 8 cups.<\/li>\n If you are using a larger casserole dish (such as 9\u00d713-inch), you will need to reduce the baking time by 5-10 minutes.<\/li>\n Nutrition is for 8 servings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
