So anyway, I love love love french toast, but sometimes the same ol' egg, milk, cinnamon routine gets kinda old. French toast casserole is a great way to remix a favorite and its SUPER easy.
Here's what you need: 3 eggs, milk, cream, sugar, Kahlua, vanilla extract, french bread, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, flour, butter, almonds.
So I started off with 3 eggs and added milk and cream, about a half cup of milk and 1/4 cup of cream.
Add Kahlua (or Kimora if you're cheap like me) as much or as little as you like, I added about a 1/4 cup, maybe a bit more, and then about 2 tsp of vanilla extract and a half cup of sugar.
Set aside. Grab your french bread. I just got a big ol' loaf from the bakery at my local grocery store.
Tear it up into big old chunks and put in a 9x9 pan. I forgot to take a pic of this step. You'll figure it out. Pour the egg/milk mixture right over the top.
Add cinnamon, and nutmeg. I went crazy with the cinnamon, but only 2 shakes of nutmeg.
Stir. Take a stick of butter and cut it into chunks. Well actually more like slivers.
Normally a cook would say use a pastry cutter to "cut" the butter into the flour until it looks all crumbly. But I don't have a pastry cutter so I used a fork. The choice is yours.
It should look like this when its done
Add almonds
And grab that casserole out the fridge and sprinkle it all over the top
Throw that sucker in the oven for an hour and YUMMMM
Oh, and 10 min before its done put some bacon in a skillet. Breakfast isn't breakfast without bacon.
