CARDAMOM FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE

Cardamom French Toast Casserole image

I love cardamom, and I thought I'd play with recipes featuring it. I came up with this one after having made cardamom braids, a Norwegian sweet bread. Cardamom braids are the best for this, but French bread or Italian bread will work, too.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

5 cups cubed stale firm white bread
1 cup chopped pecans
3 eggs
1 ½ cups milk
¾ teaspoon almond extract
1 tablespoon ground cardamom, or more to taste
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup brown sugar
1 cup confectioners' sugar
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
3 tablespoons milk, or as needed

Steps:

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 9x12-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Place the bread cubes in the prepared dish. Sprinkle the pecans over the bread.
Beat the eggs, 1 1/2 cup milk, almond extract, 1 tablespoon cardamom, cinnamon, and brown sugar together in a bowl until thoroughly combined; pour the mixture evenly over the bread cubes and pecans. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and allow the casserole to sit 15 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes; remove the aluminum foil and continue baking until the top is golden brown, another 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
Mix the confectioners' sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cardamom, and 3 tablespoons milk in a bowl with a fork until smooth; pour over the slightly cooled casserole to serve.

Tips:

Use stale bread for a crispier French toast. Stale bread absorbs more of the egg mixture, resulting in a thicker, more custard-like interior.
If you don't have stale bread, you can toast fresh bread in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes before using it.
Use a shallow dish for dipping the bread in the egg mixture. This will help to prevent the bread from getting soggy.
Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the French toast. This will prevent the bread from cooking evenly.
Cook the French toast over medium heat. This will help to prevent the bread from burning.
Flip the French toast once during cooking. This will ensure that both sides are cooked evenly.
Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Norwegian French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's a great way to use up stale bread and it can be customized with a variety of toppings. Whether you like it simple with just butter and syrup or you prefer to go all out with fruit, whipped cream, and nuts, Norwegian French toast is sure to please everyone at your table.
