Looking for the perfect make-ahead breakfast or brunch dish? This easy oven-baked French toast casserole is packed with classic flavor, warm cinnamon spice, and a custardy texture everyone will love. Baked instead of cooked in a crock pot, this version delivers golden-brown edges, a soft center, and a delicious buttery finish.
This oven baked French toast casserole is made just like the crock pot French toast casserole. This is a torn bread French toast casserole recipe with a crumb topping made with butter, sugar, flour, and cinnamon. We love this hearty casserole when feeding sports teams like our high school swim team, along with our fluffy crock pot scrambled eggs.
