Easy French Toast Casserole

Original recipe found here

2 cups brown sugar

1 cup butter (2 sticks)

1 1/2-2 loaves of bread, cut into bite-size pieces (I used whole wheat bread, but I'm confident any type of bread will work!)

4 cups milk

12 eggs

4 tsp Vanilla

2 tsp cinnamon

-Preheat oven to 450*, and spray large 10x15 pan

-Heat brown sugar and butter in a pan for about 5-7 minutes, until fully combined and bubbly

-Pour sugar and butter mixture into the 10x15 pan, then layer the chopped bread on top.

-Beat, milk, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon together in a bowl, then pour mixture over the bread. Move bread around to ensure all the bread is absorbing the liquid. 

-Refrigerate for 1 hour, or longer (even overnight)

-Bake for 30-35 minutes

-Cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Top with real maple syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
