The Perfect Weekend Brunch: Savory French Toast Casserole

As the weekend rolls around, I always look forward to creating a special brunch dish to savor with my loved ones. Today, I’m excited to share my twist on the classic French toast — a savory French toast casserole that will surely impress your family and friends.

For this unique dish, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 1 baguette, cubed (~400g)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup of milk (240ml)
  • 6 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (100g)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon of mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Gather your tools for this recipe:

  • mixing bowl
  • baking dish
  • whisk
  • frying pan

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, mustard, salt, and pepper. Add in the cubed baguette, cooked bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions. Mix everything together until well combined.

Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.

Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This savory French toast casserole is best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven. The crispy bacon, melted cheese, and tangy mustard marry perfectly with the fluffy bread to create a delightful flavor profile.

This dish serves approximately 6 people, with each serving weighing around 200g. One serving of this savory French toast casserole is estimated to be around 350 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to prepare it the night before and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together even more, resulting in a richer and more delicious casserole the next day.

I encourage you to give this savory French toast casserole a try for your next weekend brunch. Feel free to customize it with your favorite ingredients and make it your own. Enjoy!
