Overnight French Toast Casserole

I ended up making two (9x13) pans which was the perfect amount to feed us and still have leftovers for two more servings.

Overnight French Toast Casserole

1 (1 lb.) loaf of French Bread, cut up and cubed
12 large eggs (15 medium eggs)
2 cups milk
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. vanilla

Place the cubed bread in a greased 9x13 pan. In a large bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients until well blended. Pour evenly over top of the bread, making sure to cover all of the pieces. If needed, lightly stir the bread around to get even coverage. If preferred, you can cover the pan with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge overnight or up to 2 days, then bake as directed. To bake right away, preheat the oven to 375* F and bake for 40-45 minutes, until light golden brown on top and no wet egg mixture remains. Cut into squares and serve hot topped with your favorite syrup.
Makes 6-8 servings.
