Baked French Toast For A Crowd Food

FRENCH TOAST FOR A CROWD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the French toast: In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, cream, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt and whisk to combine.
• Grease a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) ceramic or glass baking dish with butter.
• Working in batches, dip the brioche into the custard to coat both sides. Arrange the brioche in the prepared baking dish, overlapping slightly. Pour the remaining custard over the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the walnut streusel: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with a nonstick mat.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, granulated and brown sugars, salt, and cinnamon. Work the butter into the dry ingredients with a fork until crumbly. Add the chopped walnuts and mix well.
• Spread the streusel on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, then crumble and let cool completely before using. The streusel will keep in an airtight container for 1 week.
• Unwrap the French toast. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then uncover and bake until the top is golden brown and crunchy, 20-25 minutes more. Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes. Top with the walnut streusel and serve with maple syrup.

THE BEST FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• For the casserole: Trim the ends from 1 loaf day-old brioche (about 1 pound) and cut into ten 1-inch thick slices. Cut each slice in half diagonally to make two triangles from each piece. (If the bread is fresh, dry it out a bit. Place the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 300 degrees F for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.)
• Whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until well blended. Dip each triangle of bread in the custard, lightly coating each side. Shingle the pieces in the prepared pan, overlapping slightly.
• Pour any remaining custard over the bread slices. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
• When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let rest 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature before baking. Remove the plastic wrap and bake until the casserole is golden and puffed and the custard is set, 45 to 50 minutes.
• For the topping: bring the butter, sugar and syrup to a boil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the butter is melted and the mixture is begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla, a pinch of salt, and the walnuts, stirring to coat. Turn off the heat and add the sliced bananas, stirring to coat evenly. Spoon the desired amount of the banana-syrup mixture over the casserole and serve any additional on the side.
