Oh. My. Goodness. Ladies (and gents), let me tell you about this breakfast recipe that literally had my family fighting over the last piece! It’s my heavenly Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole, and trust me, it’s about to become your new weekend obsession.
You know those mornings when you want to treat yourself to something absolutely divine? This is it! The best part? You can prepare it the night before, so you’re not stumbling around the kitchen at dawn like a zombie (we’ve all been there, right?).
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 1 loaf brioche bread, cubed
– 6 large eggs
– 2 cups whole milk
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1/3 cup maple syrup
– 2 tsp vanilla extract
– 2 tsp ground cinnamon
– 1/4 tsp nutmeg
– Pinch of salt
For the drool-worthy topping:
– 1/2 cup softened butter
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
– 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional, but why wouldn’t you?)
Cream cheese glaze:
– 4 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 2-3 tbsp milk
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
Honey, let me walk you through this magic:
1. Grease a 9×13 baking dish (don’t skip this step unless you enjoy scrubbing dishes!)
2. Layer those bread cubes in the dish like you’re building your dream house
3. Whisk together eggs, milk, cream, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt
4. Pour this heavenly mixture over the bread, making sure every piece gets some love

1. Mix the topping ingredients until crumbly
2. Sprinkle this goodness all over the top
3. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours if you’re impatient like me)
4. Next morning, preheat oven to 350°F
5. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown
6. While it’s baking, whip up that cream cheese glaze
7. Drizzle that liquid gold all over the warm casserole
