Got Weekend Guests? Delicious Brunch Casserole That Can Be Prepared The Day Before
Waking up, no matter how late, can be such a drag. On Sunday morning of homecoming weekend, you’re really moving slow. You have house guests (and your stomach is growling), which means eventually you are going to have to arise.
When you do stumble out of bed, it’s time to get the day started with a delicious casserole. It’s a warm, freshly baked Overnight Apple Cinnamon Fresh Toast Casserole that serves 12. But you know your family and/or guests eating habits, so you might want to make two.
Prepared the day before and chilled overnight, this casserole is ready to throw in the oven once you’re up. It’s gooey on the inside and baked to a perfect crisp on the outside, plus it’s filled with mouthwatering apples and ground cinnamon, not to mention the sweet glaze drizzled on top at the end.
It’s perfect for any breakfast or brunch occasion as it allows you time to enjoy your guests while the casserole cooks and the little ones will enjoy the sweet crunch, as well.
To start, add cubed French bread to a glass baking dish. Add apple pie filling on top of the bread and smooth it out over the entire dish. Then add more cubed French bread on top.
In a mixing bowl, whisk nine eggs, half-and-half, and cinnamon. Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the baking dish.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and chill overnight.
Remove the foil and bake for about an hour. Let cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk to form a sweet glaze. Drizzle the glaze over your warm casserole and enjoy.
