Ingredients

  • For the casserole:
  • 1 pound loaf sourdough or french bread
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups of 2% or whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • For the topping:
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces

Directions

Step 1 -Lightly grease a casserole dish or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2 -Slice the bread into 1-2 inch cubes, and distribute it along the bottom of the dish.

Step 3 -In a mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the eggs with milk, cream, sugars, vanilla, and cinnamon.

Step 4 -Pour the egg mixture over the bread in the casserole dish. It is important that all of the bread is wet.

Step 5 -Cover the casserole dish and allow it to rest in the fridge for at least 6 hours or, ideally, overnight.

Step 6 -To make the topping, combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. Cut in the butter until a crumble begins to form. This should resemble a streusel.

Step 7 -Once you are ready to bake the casserole, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 8 -Evenly distribute the streusel topping over the casserole.

Step 9 -If you desire a moist consistency, bake for 45 minutes. If you desire a firm casserole with less moisture, bake for 1 hour.

Step 10 -Remove the casserole from the oven and serve warm.
