Brioche French Toast Casserole

The Best Syrups

Try this breakfast casserole with one of our homemade syrups! We have something for every tastebud, from classic maple syrup, to Hawaiian coconut syrup, to sweet strawberry syrup, to Christmassy gingerbread syrup, to warming buttermilk syrup, to cozy pumpkin spice syrup, to creamy yogurt syrup, to smooth caramel syrup (my personal favorite with this recipe)! You really can’t go wrong with any of these incredible syrups. There’s something for everyone.

Don’t Forget the Toppings

To make a beautiful plate, top with fresh berries such as fresh blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries. For a different flavor, try sliced apples or even applesauce. I never say no to sliced peaches! For the final touch, a BIG dollop of whipped cream, and maybe even a drizzle of syrup. Sprinkle with powdered sugar for an elegant look, and maybe even a small dash of some warming spice like cinnamon on top.

Tips for Making Brioche French Toast Casserole

Use day old bread – Bread that is a day or two old will absorb the custard better and will actually give the French toast a better texture.

Let it sit overnight – I will almost always let the casserole sit overnight in the fridge. It will turn out better and it’s less work in the morning. I just “wake and bake”. Letting it sit overnight gives the bread more time to soak up the custard mixture. It’s a win-win.

Make your own whipped cream – Top your French toast with our homemade whipped cream, it is so much better than store bought!

What to Serve with French Toast Casserole

The casserole will be the star of the show, so to keep things simple you can serve with eggs, bacon, or just a couple sausage links. I like to have a little bit of protein to balance out the breakfast but it is also great on its own.
