Unfortunately, The Kings Arms was not comfortable in moving forward with a menu so quickly for our Wednesday night.

To still do something different and fun…. Use Skip (Canadian Company) to get delivery and have a great night watching some great curling.

Teams that are curling – pre-order and make it an extra special night – no matter the outcome of your game!

This is just a suggestion – participation, as per usual, is only for FUN!

French Toast Casserole

My love for french toast is strong, as evidenced by my many different french toast recipes! But I think this easy French Toast Casserole recipe is the best way to serve a crowd, and it’s especially convenient because you can make it the day before. Breakfast magic!

How to make Overnight French Toast Casserole:

Combine and Refrigerate: Butter the bottom and sides of a 9×13” pan. Slice bread into 1 inch chunks and add to dish. Whisk eggs in a large bowl and add cream, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla. Pour over cubed bread and gently toss to coat. Add to pan, cover, and refrigerate overnight.

Make Topping: Stir together brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cut cold butter into chunks then add to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to combine until crumbly. Refrigerate overnight.

Bake: Sprinkle topping on top of casserole, then bake at 350°F (180°C) for 40-50 minutes, until golden on top. Let the baked french toast casserole cool for at least 10 minutes befoer serving. I think it’s sweet enough without syrup, but you could serve with homemade syrup, maple syrup, or whipped cream on top.

Make Ahead and Freezing Instructions:

To Make Ahead: Make the French Toast Casserole a day ahead, stored in the fridge.

To Freeze: Cover assembled casserole tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
