  • About

French Toast Casserole is similar to a bread pudding, albeit not as sweet since it’s for breakfast but it is perfect when topped with a little pancake syrup. Serve it as a delightful addition to any brunch, breakfast potluck, or just to have on the weekends with the family.

Ingredients

  • 1 large loaf French bread, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • ½ cup walnuts, chopped
  • 6 eggs

Method

  1. Lightly grease or line the slow cooker with a liner. Pour in the bread and the walnuts.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, pancake syrup, butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour the egg mixture over the bread and gently stir it all together. Set aside for 10-15 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb some of the egg mixture. Cover and cook for 2½ h
