There’s something magical about waking up to a warm, cozy breakfast already waiting for you—especially one that tastes like a sweet hug from your favorite brunch spot. This Overnight French Toast Casserole is a make-ahead dream: buttery brioche soaked in cinnamon-spiced custard, baked to golden perfection, and finished with a brown sugar crumble that gives it just the right amount of crunch. Whether it’s for a holiday morning or a lazy weekend brunch, this recipe is always a crowd favorite.

    Layering fresh-sliced baguette into a greased casserole dish – ready to soak up the cinnamon-vanilla mixture.

    Strawberries and blueberries go on top before the overnight chill – bringing fresh, fruity flavor to every bite.

    Overnight French Toast Casserole

    Ingredients:

    • 1 ½ french baguettes cut into ½ inch slices
    • 8 large eggs
    • 2 cups milk of choice (can use dairy/almond/oat)
    • 2 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1 tsp cinnamon
    • 2/3 cup brown sugar
    • 1 cup sliced strawberries
    • 1 cup blueberries
    • 1-2 tbsp powdered sugar
    • Maple syrup to drizzle

    Directions:

    1. Spray a 9″x13″ casserole dish with olive oils spray. Cut baguette into 1/2 inch slices and add to the casserole dish.
    2. In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Whisk mixture and mix well. Pour mixture over the bread.
    3. Slice strawberries. Top casserole with strawberries and blueberries.
    4. Cover the casserole and refrigerate overnight.
    5. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Uncover and bake for 35-50 minutes. Check at the 35-minute mark, and if it is not done bake for longer. Mine takes about 45 minutes.
    6. Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
    7. Enjoy!
