French Toast Casserole

By emi1027

Ingredients

• 1 loaf (16 ounces) Pepperidge Farm® Cinnamon Swirl Bread, cut into cubes (about 8 cups)
• 6 eggs
• 3 cups milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Confectioners' sugar
• Maple-flavored syrup (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Place the bread cubes into a greased 3-quart shallow baking dish. Beat the eggs, milk and vanilla extract in a medium bowl with a fork or whisk. Pour the milk mixture over the bread cubes. Stir and press the bread cubes into the milk mixture to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
Heat the oven to 350°F. Uncover the baking dish.
Bake for 50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Sprinkle with the confectioners' sugar. Serve with the syrup, if desired.
