Wow! This was so delicious! Such great flavor! Super easy to put together and love that it can be made ahead of time. This was my first try at a French toast casserole and I don’t think I’ll be going back to making it the classic way anymore. Thank you for this recipe! Definitely a keeper!

Absolutely amazing. My family has requested that this be made at every family breakfast and brunch gathering. We’re calling it Monkey Bread French Toast Casserole.

I broke my personal #1 rule when trying new recipes….I did not try the recipe first before serving to guests. I trusted Sugar Spun Run would be a success & It was a success! Everyone raved about your recipe. Loved by all and definitely a keeper. Thank you for the easy directions to follow and all the suggestions.

I made this for Christmas brunch this year and everyone LOVED it! It’s so delicious! Followed the recipe exactly- assembled it with the liquid Christmas Eve night before I went to bed. Next morning I added the streusel and baked it. Delicious!! Thank you for perfecting this recipe!!

In reply to Carolyn. Hi Carolyn! I have not tried it with egg nog so I can't say for sure how to do it. If you do try it I would love to know how it goes. :)

It looks like my first comment didn’t go through, so there is nothing to elaborate on! I had mentioned I was putting this together tonight, using Italian bread that I had cut into cubes and followed your method of drying out in the oven. I plan to bake it in the morning. If there is still quite a bit of unabsorbed custard in the bottom of the baking dish, should I pour some out in the morning before baking? I feel like it has absorbed all it likely will and there is still a decent amount.

To elaborate on my previous comment – should there be any custard left unabsorbed before baking?

You may not see this before I need to bake it – I’m putting this together tonight, to bake in the morning. I’m using a 14oz loaf of Italian bread (reduced at the store since it was made 11/26) and I used your method of cutting into cubes and then baking until firm on the outside. I’m concerned because it seems like the bread has absorbed all the custard it is going to, and there is still quite a bit swimming around in the dish. Should I pour some off if there is still a lot in the morning?
