Ingredients

Scale

Custard Mixture

  • 10 Small Eggs
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 1/2 cup Whipping Cream
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Base

  • 18 ounces Sourdough Bread

Topping

  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Butter (cold, for grating)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the custard mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together 10 small eggs, 2 cups of milk, 1/2 cup of whipping cream, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Assemble the bread layer: Arrange 18 ounces of sliced sourdough bread evenly in a greased 9″x13″ baking dish. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and gently press down so the bread soaks up the custard.
  3. Make the topping: In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Using a grater, grate 1/2 cup cold butter into the mixture and combine until the topping becomes crumbly.
  4. Refrigerate overnight: Cover both the assembled casserole and topping bowl, then refrigerate overnight to allow the bread to soak and flavors to meld.
  5. Preheat the oven and prepare to bake: The next day, remove the casserole and topping from the fridge. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Evenly sprinkle the crumbly topping over the soaked bread base.
  6. Bake: Bake the casserole uncovered for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden brown and the custard is fully set.
  7. Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the French toast bake with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings for a delightful breakfast experience.

Notes

  • For best results, make sure the bread is well-soaked but not overly soggy before baking.
  • You can substitute sourdough with other sturdy bread like brioche or challah.
  • The pumpkin pie spice topping adds a warm flavor but can be adjusted or omitted.
  • This casserole can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated until baking.
  • Let the bake rest a few minutes after coming out of the oven to set before slicing.
