Blueberry French Toast Casserole with Sliced Almonds
Easier than flipping French toast slices, this casserole makes it easy to serve everyone at once. The make ahead option takes the rush out of breakfast.
In a large bowl, mix together eggs, milk, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Set aside.
Grease a 9x13" casserole pan. Spread cubed bread in the dish and top with egg mixture. Make sure all of the bread is coated with the egg mixture.
Sprinkle almonds and blueberries over the egg mixture.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until casserole is golden colored.
For a make ahead French toast casserole, cover the dish and store in the refrigerator for 8-12 hours. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes prior to baking. Bake as directed above.
Notes
A frugal alternative? Use stale bread in this casserole.The recipe calls for fresh blueberries but you can certainly use frozen blueberries as well. And again, while the recipe calls for almonds, feel free to switch it up and use pecans, walnuts, or macadamia nuts.
