Description

This slow cooker French Toast Casserole is the perfect make-ahead breakfast recipe. It's made with thick slices of bread, cinnamon, and a rich egg custard. The bread soaks up all the custard overnight and the result is a creamy, custard-filled casserole. The best part is, it's cooked in your slow cooker so you can wake up to a delicious breakfast without any fuss or mess. You can customize this recipe to your liking by adding different fruits, nuts, or spices.

Prep Time

This delicious French Toast Casserole only takes 15 minutes to prepare. All you have to do is grease your slow cooker and mix together the egg custard. Then, layer the bread slices and pour the custard over the top. Allow the custard to soak in for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Cook Time

Once you're ready to eat, cook the Crockpot French Toast Casserole on low for 3-4 hours. You'll know it's done when the french toast is golden brown and the custard is set. You can also cook it on high for 1-2 hours if you're in a hurry.

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf of thick-sliced bread
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup of brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of butter
  • Optional: fruits, nuts, or spices

Instructions

  1. Grease your slow cooker with butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
  3. Layer the bread slices in the slow cooker.
  4. Pour the custard mixture over the top of the bread.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high for 1-2 hours.
  6. Serve with optional toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, or spices.

Equipment

Notes

The bread should be thick-sliced so it can soak up all the custard. If you don't have thick-sliced bread, you can use thick-cut french bread or Texas toast. If you don't have a slow cooker, you can bake this in the oven at 350°F for 40-50 minutes.
