This recipe is great if you need a yummy breakfast for overnight guests or are like me and needed to bring a brunch item to a family breakfast this morning. This casserole can easily be assembled a day or two before you need it and baked just before serving. It’s proven to be a crowd pleaser!
What You Need
- 1 loaf of brioche bread (any bread will do, but brioche makes this extra special)
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 ½ cups half-and-half cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup butter
- 1 ⅓ cups brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
What You Do
- Butter a 9×13-inch baking dish; arrange slices of bread on the bottom.
- Beat eggs, milk, cream, vanilla, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Pour over bread slices, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
- The next morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Meanwhile, combine butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup together in a small saucepan; heat until bubbling.
- Pour over bread and egg mixture.
- Bake in preheated oven, uncovered, for 40 minutes.
- Serve with whip cream, berries, and syrup.
