Who has a tried and true recipe for overnight French toast casserole? This has been a staple at the potlucks at nearly every school I've worked for, and would love to make one for Christmas morning.
Thanks in advance if anyone has a recipe they'd care to share.

Been making this forever, forgot where the recipe even came from. But my family loves it, and it's our go to on Christmas morning:
French Toast Bake
Ingredients:
1 cup melted butter
2 cup brown sugar
1 loaf of italian bread, sliced thick, slightly stale
6 eggs
2 ½ cup half and half
2 teaspoon vanilla
Cinnamon sugar to sprinkle
- Melt butter in microwave, stir in brown sugar. Stir until mixed
- Pour butter/sugar mixture in bottom of 9 x 13 pan, spread around
- Lay slices of bread in pan
- Beat eggs, half and half and vanilla, pour over bread.
- Sprinkle on cinnamon sugar
- Cover and chill overnight
- Preheat oven to 350
- Keep covered and bake for 50 minutes (first 30 minutes covered, then remove cover)
** Sometimes i put a few chopped pecans on the top with the cinnamon sugar **
Thanks to everyone who replied - reps all around! I forgot that I had done Paula Deen's recipe last time. It was good! I kinda like the idea of nuts, but I'll probably just sprinkle them on top like njmom.
I watched the YT clip RDM shared - thanks for that. What a nice nana, but did I miss her adding vanilla in her custard? Because I was waiting for it and didn't catch it. But love the dozen eggs - that's a proper custardy dish!
I like how she shingled the bread slices, I will do that too. I think I'm going to try this with Challah or a Brioche loaf.
not exactly what you're asking for, but I make a savory strata for a breakfast crowd.
Bread, cooked sausage or bacon, beaten eggs, cheese, all layered together like lasagna the night before, then baked in the morning.

Actually, that sounds like something we'd love for dinner! Care to share the recipe please?
Pour in a greased (I use coconut oil) 7x 11 rectangle dish
Top with 3 slices whole grain bread, two fit side by side, cut the third one to fit at the top
Turn the bread over so it's coated on both sides. Gently lift, I added fresh blueberries to cover bottom of the dish. Refrigerate overnight; bake at 350* for 30 minutes or less.
Single, I am, made this to use the blueberries. Surprised how the whole grain bread soaked up the egg mixture. Served 1/2 with 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup; had the other half today with only 1 tablespoon of syrup. Trying to be less fluffy, Not deprived !
