- Use day-old bread for the best results. Stale bread will soak up the egg mixture more evenly and result in a more consistent casserole.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish. This will prevent the casserole from cooking evenly.
- Bake the casserole until the center is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
- Serve the casserole immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include maple syrup, butter, fruit, and whipped cream.
