How to Make Eggnog French Toast Casserole
French Toast
Grease or spray a 9×13 inch baking dish. If baking right away, preheat the oven to 350° F.
Cut the challah bread into 2″ inch cubes and place it into the baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes and gently press down on the bread, or stir to evenly coat each piece of bread with the custard.
Crumb Topping
In a small bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and pecans.
Add the melted butter and use a fork to cut the butter into the flour and sugar mixture. It should have a crumbled consistency when fully incorporated.
Crumble the topping evenly over the French toast.
Bake for 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread is puffed up.
Overnight French Toast Bake
If you are making this ahead of time to bake at a later time, prepare the French toast casserole as described above, cover with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate. Heat the oven to 350 degrees and let the baking dish sit on the counter for 30 minutes before baking.
Bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
