How to Make Cream Cheese French Toast Casserole in an Oven

Aunt Lou here.

Cris and I’s mom’s French toast is legendary…at least in our family. The flavor is amazing and unmatched, in our opinion, to any other. So, when I was adapting the crock pot recipe to an oven recipe, I thought I would go to the pro and ask her for any changes she might make. The results are this incredible Cream Cheese French Toast Casserole! This dish is great for breakfast, brunch or dessert.

Ingredients

Casserole Ingredients

• 1 loaf French bread
• 4 eggs beaten (for the mixture to go on the bread)
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons vanilla (for the mixture to go on the bread)
• 2 cups milk

Cream Cheese Topping Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 8 oz cream cheese softened
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

• Take one loaf of French bread, cut it into cubes and place the bread cubes into an extra large bowl.
• In a different bowl, beat eggs, vanilla, sugar (from casserole ingredients list) and cinnamon together before adding in your milk and stirring until well combined.
• Pour your egg and milk mixture over your bread cubes and gently stir/toss until all your bread is well coated.
• Spread your bread mixture out evenly in a lightly greased 9×13 baking dish, cover and place in your refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• While your oven is preheating, mix together your softened cream cheese, egg, vanilla and sugar (from cream cheese topping ingredient list) until well blended.
• Spoon your cream cheese mixture evenly across the top of your casserole using your stirring spatula to spread it out evenly, but not letting it touch the baking dish.
• Bake at 400 for 25-30 minutes (mine was perfect at 28 minutes), turning your baking dish at 15 minutes if your oven does not cook evenly.
• Serve hot as is or topped with pancake syrup, if desired.
