Brioche French Toast Casserole is a classic spin on regular french toast. The soaked bread makes a custard-like filling with a crunchy sugared topping. Making this french toast bake is an easy way to feed a crowd. I knew I had to share this recipe because it's the perfect make-ahead breakfast for the weekend, holidays, or when you have houseguests and want to spend less time in the kitchen.
Prepare this the night before and the morning of waking up, pop it into the oven, and go back to bed until your timer goes off! You have a delicious breakfast with very little effort.

This French toast bake recipe is soooo delicious!! I made 2 batches for a brunch party and it was ALL GONE, even though there was a lot of other food! I made this for 2 separate occasions and both times literally everyone asked for the recipe. Itβs great for hosting or if youβre not a morning person like me haha. You can prepare it the night before and bake it the next morning. π Easy and special breakfast!
