If you love soft French toast, you'll love this French toast casserole. This casserole is made the night before: slices of whole-grain bread are covered in a light egg custard with semi-skimmed milk and soaked overnight in the refrigerator. Then, in the morning, all you have to do is pop the pan in the oven. You'll get a large, fluffy French toast that's enough for the whole family. The combination of cinnamon, vanilla, and almond extracts will fill your home with a wonderful aroma that will quickly bring everyone together for breakfast. Serve the French toast drizzled with natural maple syrup.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Arrange the bread slices diagonally in the pan, slightly overlapping them, in three rows. In a bowl, combine the unsweetened condensed milk, milk, vanilla and almond extracts, cinnamon, salt, and eggs. Pour the egg mixture over the bread slices, coating them evenly.
  2. Cover with foil and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the foil from the baking dish and spoon the egg mixture over the slices to moisten them.

  3. Topping:

    Sprinkle the nuts evenly over the bread. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup of maple syrup and serve.
