Time 12h45m

Number Of Ingredients 26

FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE
1 1/2 c whole milk
1 1/2 c heavy cream
8 large eggs
1 Tbsp dark brown sugar
1 tsp lightly packed fresh orange zest
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
12 (1-inch thick) slices sweet brioche or 16 (1/2-inch) baguette slices
butter or nonstick cooking spray
DARK CHOCOLATE ORANGE BUTTER
4 oz dark chocolate chips
1 1/2 tsp powdered sugar
1/2 tsp instant espresso powder
2 Tbsp orange liqueur
1 Tbsp frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed [may use 3 tablespoons if not using liqueur]
1 Tbsp fresh grated orange zest
1 lb unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
CINNAMON-ORANGE SYRUP
3/4 c water
1/4 c fresh orange juice
1 Tbsp fresh grated orange zest
1 c packed dark brown sugar
2 Tbsp heavy cream
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. French Toast In mixing bowl of stand mixer, whisk together milk, eggs, sugar, orange zest, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until eggs are broken up and evenly combined. Generously butter or spray with nonstick cooking spray a nonstick 9"X13" baking dish. Place bread slices in baking pan in two rows, overlapping slices a bit. Pour egg mixture over bread slices, ensuring even coverage. Spoon some of the mixture in between bread slices. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight. The next morning, preheat oven to 350°F. Dot top with 3 or 4 tablespoons cubed Dark Chocolate Orange Butter. Bake for 45 minutes, or just until puffed and slightly golden. Cut into squares and serve with additional Dark Chocolate Orange Butter and Cinnamon-Orange Syrup.
  • 2. Dark Chocolate Orange Butter Place chocolate chips in small heatproof nonmetal mixing bowl and place in microwave. Melt chips, stirring halfway through cooking time, on medium to medium high power for 45 seconds, or just until chips are sufficiently softened to be blendable [be careful not to overheat or burn]. Remove from microwave and place melted chocolate in stand mixer mixing bowl. Use the whisk attachment to whisk in powdered sugar, espresso powder, orange liquor, and orange juice concentrate until smooth. Add butter and orange zest; stir until thoroughly combined. Divide mixture equally between two pieces of parchment paper (6" X 8"). Roll parchment into log shapes and twist ends to secure. Wrap in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate until firm, about two hours (or you can place logs in the freezer for 30 minutes). Slice into thin rounds as needed. (This recipe can be prepared several days in advance. Keep frozen or refrigerated. Thaw at room temperature before serving. This recipe would also be great for grilled or broiled fruit or as a topping for pancakes, waffles, and toast.)
  • 3. Cinnamon-Orange Syrup Combine water, orange juice, orange zest and brown sugar in a heavy medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Boil until the syrup reduces to 1 cup, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cream and cinnamon. Keep the syrup warm. (The syrup can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, then cover and refrigerate. Re-warm before serving.)

CINNAMON SWIRL FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Cinnamon Swirl French Toast Casserole Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by gstark

Number Of Ingredients 16

CANDIED PECANS:
6 cups cubed cinnamon swirl bread
7 large eggs
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons real vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup dates, chopped
3 teaspoons butter, cut into bits
3/4 cup candied pecans, coarsely chopped
2 Teaspoons melted butter
2 Teaspoons brown sugar
1 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Coat the inside of your Crock-Pot® slow cooker with cooking spray Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and crisp in a 275°F oven for 20 minutes, or until slightly dry and hard. Spread bread over the base of your Crock-Pot® slow cooker. While the bread is baking whisk the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg together. Pour mixture over bread and press lightly to make sure all the bread is submerged. Sprinkle on the dates and pecans (recipe below), and finally the cut up pieces of butter and cook on high for 3 to 4 Hours. Garnish with powdered sugar and syrup - enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread for the casserole. A stale or dry bread will not absorb the egg mixture as well and will result in a less flavorful dish.
  • If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking dish, you can use a smaller dish and adjust the cooking time accordingly. Just make sure that the bread is in a single layer in the dish so that it cooks evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the casserole. The bread should be cooked through but still slightly soft in the center. If you overcook it, the bread will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the casserole warm with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, whipped cream, and fruit.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon French toast casserole is a delicious and easy breakfast dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
