Overnight Cinnamon French Toast Casserole

January 17, 2018 by DanicasDaily 4 Comments

This year, I’ve really been in love with breakfast casseroles. I wanted to bake up a sweet breakfast casserole that combined the buttery coffee cake cinnamon crumb topping with doughy french toast. The key to making this Overnight French Toast Casserole delicious is allowing the sourdough bread to soak up the creamy eggs overnight creating a casserole that is firm and doughy without being soggy or eggy.

You can use any good freshly baked, doughy bread from your local bakery – I love the tang of sourdough. Boost up the staying power with creamy protein packed eggs then put the finishing touches with a buttery cinnamon sugar crumble.

Add a warm maple drizzle before serving for one satisfying 7 Smartpoints breakfast that will keep you full for hours.

OVERNIGHT CINNAMON FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE (print it!)INGREDIENTS:

  • 16 oz sourdough baguette, cut into 1 inch squares
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup low-fat (1%) milk
  • 1/2 cup 0% Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 3 tsp cinnamon, divided
  • 2 Tbsp golden brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp butter, cut into small pieces

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Spray a 9 x 13 dish with nonstick spray and add bread. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, yogurt, vanilla, syrup, salt and 2 tsp cinnamon. Pour mixture over bread coating all pieces. Cover and refrigerate overnight or 8 hours.
  2. Pull casserole out of fridge and uncover. Stir together remaining cinnamon and brown sugar. Sprinkle sugar mixture over casserole then dollop  butter all over. Preheat oven to 350. Bake for 40 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes, slice and add toppings (think maple syrup, butter, whipped cream, fruit, etc.)

Makes 8 servings, 6 WWFreestyle Smartpoints each

    Thanks so much for sharing the overnight cinnamon French bread casserole. I think I’ll make this for dinner some evening since our morning schedule doesn’t coincide. The photos of Pt. Reyes are gorgeous.

    Could you give me the nutrition info for this in text form? I don’t know why, but the boxed format never seems to work for me. I’ve tried Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox, and it’s always too small to read on the screen, and when I try to print it, it’s either fuzzy and too small to read or if it’s normal size, only part of it comes out. On the normal size print, I’m missing the info above Polyunsaturated Fat and below Vitamin C. Your recipes always sound so good to me, but I rarely print and/or make them because I can’t see the nutrition information and that matters to me. Help??

      I think it has something to do with Pinterest. Your Flashback recipe posted today showed up and printed just fine for me.
