French Toast Casserole

• servings: 12 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 55 minutes

Ingredients

1 loaf French bread (cut into 1-inch cubes)

8 eggs (beaten)

2 cups milk

1 cup Greek yogurt

¼ cup maple syrup (plus more for drizzling)

1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup chopped pecans

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 13x9-inch baking dish

Place the bread cubes in the greased baking dish; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla and salt. Pour evenly over the bread cubes. Use a spoon to carefully coat all the bread cubes with the batter.

Top the french toast with the chopped pecans. Then drizzle more maple syrup over the pecans.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top starts browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil for the last 10 minutes to prevent the casserole from drying out.

Let stand for 5 minutes to cool. Serve with maple syrup if desired.
