Frenchy Toast Casserole (French Toast Casserole) Ala The Cassero - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks or 3 small sticks)
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 loaf extra-thick sliced white bread, such as Texas Toast, crusts removed
2 cups whole milk
6 large eggs
1 cup your favorite berries

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F
Melt the butter in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon and stir to make a paste.
Spread the paste in the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish. Lay the bread on top of the paste in two layers.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Pour the mixture over the bread in the dish.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until top has risen a little and is golden brown.
Top with berries when serving if using berries or see options above.
This casserole can be made the night before and kept chilled in the fridge overnight. All you'll have to do the next morning is pop it in the oven.
