Instrucciones

Prep Bread: Cut 1 loaf sourdough into 1-inch cubes. Spray a 9x13-inch (or similar) casserole dish with cooking spray, then add half of the bread into the dish.Sprinkled ½ to 1 cup crumbled almond paste over the bread so each bite of casserole gets a little almond paste. Top with remaining bread.

Eggs

Egg Mixture: Whisk together 8 large eggs, 2 cups whole milk, ½ cup brown sugar, 1 tsp almond extract, and ½ tsp ground cinnamon.Pour egg mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring every piece gets coated in egg. Cover with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (or overnight).

Crumble: While casserole chills in the fridge, stir together ¼ cup all-purpose flour and ¼ cup brown sugar. Cut ¼ cup cold unsalted butter into small cubes, then use forks or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour mixture until it forms course crumbs. Stir in ¼ cup almond paste and ¼ cup sliced almonds.Sprinkle almond crumb mixture evenly over the casserole.

Bake: Take casserole out of the fridge while preheating the oven to 350°F (176°C). Cook French toast casserole uncovered for about 45 minutes, or until firm. If the casserole darkens before finishing, cover it in foil for the remaining cook time.Serve warm with powdered sugar and/or maple syrup. Happy eating!
