Overnight French Toast Casserole
If you love a simple no fuss recipe then look no further. It’s called overnight French toast because you prep the French toast casserole the night, chill then bake off in the morning. By letting the casserole sit overnight, it allows the bread to soak up all of that delicious custard and gives the French toast the perfect texture.
Baked Peach Cobbler French Toast
For this recipe, I highly recommend (but optional) using stale croissants or slightly toasted croissants. This helps with making sure the bread doesn’t get too soggy. While I’m gathering all of the ingredients I just pop my rolls into the oven for about 5 min, just until they have a slight crisp to them. Be sure to let cool before adding to the custard. If you add the hot croissants to the custard you’ll run the chance of cooking the eggs….we don’t want that.
For this baked French toast casserole recipe, you’ll need a 9×13 casserole dish. I like to add a layer of drained peaches to the bottom of the pan then layer the croissants on top of the peaches. After I pour over the custard, add any remaining peaches and top with the strudel. There is no right or wrong way to layer this peach french toast casserole. I like to just make sure that every portion of baked french toast will have a few pieces of peaches in there.
Ingredients
- Croissants: Toasting them just a bit then allow to cool before using. Add to the casserole dish.
- Canned Peaches: Drain the peaches before adding to the casserole dish.
- Eggs + Whole Milk: Whisk together in a medium bowl.
- Cinnamon + Vanilla Extract: Add into the milk/egg mix and whisk until completely combined.
How long will it last?
To store overnight french toast, cover tightly with foil or plastic wrap. The casserole will keep in the fridge for 2 days when wrapped properly.
How to reheat overnight french toast?
The best way to reheat this Overnight Baked Peach Cobbler French Toast is either on the stove top or in the oven. Simply put a square of french toast in a non-stick pan over medium- low heat. Cover with a small lid and allow to heat for 1-2 minutes. If you have a little more time, I would suggest reheating in the oven for 5-10 minutes or until heated through.
