Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread for the casserole. A French baguette or brioche will work well.
  • Don't overcrowd the casserole dish. If you have too much bread, it will not cook evenly.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the bread into cubes. This will help prevent the bread from tearing.
  • Don't overmix the egg mixture. Overmixing can make the casserole tough.
  • Let the casserole rest for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the bread absorb the egg mixture and cook evenly.
  • Serve the casserole warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, butter, or fruit.
