French Toast Casserole Recipe Make it Overnight

Here’s a French Toast Casserole recipe that can be made overnight!  That’s right!  Just make it the night before and pop it in the oven right when you wake up.

It’s hard to find a breakfast recipe that can serve a lot of people a warm meal at the same time.  My daughter had a sleep over graduation party so I had to come up with something to feed this group.  I decided to try a this French Toast Casserole recipe because I could make it the night before.  Easy enough for me because I really didn’t want to deal with a huge prep and mess early in the morning.  It only took about 10 minutes to through all the ingredients together the night before too!  I can definitely handle that.

In the above recipe I ended up omitting the Praline or Walnut topping and just baked the French toast alone.  I then gave the option of Maple Syrup, Sugar Free Syrup or a Walnut Glaze topping.  I’ve made this both ways and they both come out delicious.  One just has more sugar than the other.  So if you are looking for a lower sugar option, try omitting the Praline Glaze and use sugar free syrup.

Enjoy!
