Crockpot French Toast Casserole

Ingredients

16 ounces loaf sliced brioche bread cut into 1-2” cubes (day old works best!)
6 eggs beaten
2¼ cups whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
pinch of salt
½ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter cut into cubes

Directions

Add cubed bread to the bottom of a greased 5 quart or larger slow cooker insert.

Mix together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Pour over the bread and press bread down to submerge into liquid.

Cover and place the slow cooker insert into the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour to allow the bread to soak up the juices. You can also leave it covered overnight.

Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly across the top of the bread and dot with the butter cubes across the top.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 1-2 hours, or low for 2-4 hours, until the bread egg mixture is fully cooked.

Serve immediately with maple syrup, fruit compote or powdered sugar, enjoy!
