Overnight Almond French Toast
This recipe is the best because it has a secret ingredient (almond extract- shh) that makes the flavor a little something special, you may even pass up on the maple syrup...maybe.

Ingredients
- 6 Eggs
- 2 Cups Cream
- 1 Cup Milk
- 1 tsp Almond Extract
- 1 tsp Cinnamon divided
- 2 TBSP Sugar
- 1 Loaf Challah Bread, or similar (20oz)
- 1 TBSP Butter + enough to butter your casserole dish
Instructions
- In a bowl whisk the eggs. Add in the cream and milk, almond extract, 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and sugar until combined. Set aside.
- Cut the bread up into 1 inch cubes, and place in a large bowl.
- Pour the mixture over the bread cubes and stir to fully combine.
- Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight.
- The next morning, preheat the oven to 425F.
- Take your bowl out of the refrigerator and give it a stir. Butter you casserole dish and dice up your TBSP of butter.
- Pour the french toast mixture into the casserole pan, top with your diced butter squares and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon.
- Bake at 425 F. 30-35 minutes, make sure that the egg mixture has cooked through. The top will also be a little crusty which I love.
Want an extra crunch?
- Add almonds. Follow the same prep instructions, however substitute the 1/2 tsp of cinnamon with raw sliced almonds. Evenly sprinkle about 1/2 cup of sliced almonds across the top and with your diced butter. Bake using the same instructions above.
