I had some leftover Easter Bread so I wondered what could I do with it. Overnight french toast casserole was just the right idea.
This breakfast casserole recipe is both simple and delicious. The bread is infused with subtle flavors of sugar, vanilla extract and butter. If you don’t have Easter Bread at hand, you can substitute it with french toast. In that case I would add some grated orange and lemon zest.
This is a no-fuss dish that takes very little time to prepare and it requires ingredients you probably already have at home. You let it soak overnight and just throw it in the oven the next morning – you’ll have a warm and cozy breakfast.
