• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and continue baking until casserole is cooked through and eggs are set, 25 to 30 minutes. The casserole will be syrupy, but should thicken as it cools.

LAZY OVEN BAKED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Grease a 13 by 9-inch baking dish with butter or spray it with cooking spray.
• Place the milk, eggs, sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a medium-size bowl and whisk to mix well. Set the milk mixture aside.
• Arrange half of the slices of bread in the prepared baking dish, cutting the bread so that it fits in a solid layer. Pour half of the milk mixture over the bread, then evenly distribute about half of any dried fruit or nuts, if using, on top.
• Repeat, creating a second layer of bread and then pouring the rest of the milk mixture on top and distributing the rest of the fruit or nuts over the bread. Lightly press the bread down into the liquid.
• Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight. The bread will have absorbed almost all of the milk mixture. Uncover the baking dish and if there are dryer looking pieces on top, take them off and carefully tuck them underneath the bread on the bottom so that the more milk-soaked pieces are now on top (this is messy but it all works out in the baking). Note that any dried fruit sitting on the top of the French toast will get pretty chewy when baked and nuts on top will get toasty; the fruit and nuts that are tucked into the French toast will be softer, so disperse the fruit and nuts as you see fit.
• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• Bake the French toast, uncovered, until it is puffed and golden, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Let the French toast sit for 5 minutes to firm up a bit, then cut it into squares and serve it hot with your choice of maple syrup, fresh fruit, and/or confectioners' sugar.

BAKED CREAM CHEESE FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Grease a 9×13 inch or any 3-4 quart oven-safe dish with nonstick spray. Slice then cut the bread into cubes, about 1 inch in size. Spread half of the cubes into the prepared baking pan.
• Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the room temperature cream cheese on medium-high speed until completely smooth. Beat in the confectioners' sugar and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract until combined. Drop random spoonfuls of cream cheese mixture on top of the bread. Layer the remaining bread cubes on top of cream cheese. (I like to make sure some cream cheese is still exposed on top just for looks.) Set aside.
• Whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon, brown sugar, and remaining vanilla together until no brown sugar lumps remain. Pour evenly over the bread. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours and up to 24 hours. Overnight is best.
• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Remove pan from the refrigerator.
• Whisk the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Cut in the cold cubed butter with a pastry blender or two forks. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the soaked bread.
• Bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes or until golden brown on top. I usually bake it for 45 minutes because I like it softer. Drizzle with optional maple syrup or dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm.
• Cover leftovers tightly and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

MAPLE FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• First allow your sliced bread to sit at room temperature for approximately 1 hour to allow the surfaces to dry out.
• In a wide bowl, beat your eggs with your maple syrup until the mixture is slightly thickened.
• Beat in the milk, vanilla, nutmeg and salt.
• Place your bread slices in the mixture and allow them to soak in the mixture for approximately 5 minutes until saturated well.
• Next you will want to preheat your skillet over medium heat and add 2 Tablespoons of butter.
• Once your butter has melted reduce your heat to medium-low and saute bread slices for about 5-6 minutes per side, making sure that you flip each slice over every 2 minutes or so to make sure that they brown evenly.
• You may have to cook in 2 batches if you use a smaller skillet.
• Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, and place random berries around the plate for a nice look and tasty meal.

MAPLE GLAZED FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Spray a 9 X 13-inch pan with cooking spray.

• Mix eggs, 3 cups Lactaid® whole milk, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, white sugar, and vanilla together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until ingredients are well blended, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour over bread mixture in pan.
• Gently press down bread so it is slightly covered by the liquid. Cover with plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Remove plastic from casserole and place in the oven. Bake uncovered until set and top is golden brown, about 45 minutes.
• Whisk powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon Lactaid® milk together in a bowl. If too think, add a bit more milk. Glaze should be thick but liquid enough to drizzle.
• Drizzle glaze over warm casserole. Allow glaze to thicken and set before serving, about 10 minutes.

CINNAMON BAKED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• For the French toast: Grease the baking pan with butter. Tear the bread into chunks, or cut into cubes, and evenly distribute in the pan. Crack the eggs in a big bowl. Whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Pour evenly over the bread. Cover the pan tightly and store in the fridge until needed (overnight preferably).
• For the topping: Mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and some nutmeg in a separate bowl. Stir together using a fork. Add the butter and with a pastry cutter, and mix it all together until the mixture resembles fine pebbles. Store in a re-sealable plastic bag in the fridge.
• When you're ready to bake the casserole, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the casserole from the fridge and sprinkle the topping over the top. Bake for 45 minutes for a softer, more bread pudding texture or for 1 hour or more for a firmer, crisper texture.
• Scoop out individual portions. Top with butter and drizzle with warm pancake syrup and sprinkle with blueberries.
