    French toast bacon casserole makes a wonderful breakfast or brunch to serve family and friends. Sweet and savory, this dish is a treat for everyone.

    french toast bacon casserole

    French toast bacon casserole is a meal I love to make during the holiday season. It is easy to prepare and I know that everyone will enjoy its sweet and savory flavor.

    We seem to have a string of visitors staying with us this time of year so my kitchen is always hopping. I have always enjoyed cooking for and with my family and friends. It is a way for us to connect and spend time with each other. That is why I insist on people staying with us because that means more opportunity to share my love of cooking and food all day long, not just dinner.

    The star of this casserole is the bacon. I love using hand-selected & hand-trimmed Wright® Brand Bacon. They use the best cut of meat for this high quality bacon. It is thick-sliced and naturally smoked with wood chips for amazing flavor.

    How to make French Toast Bacon Casserole

    To make this casserole, start by dicing up the bacon and cooking in a skillet. I like to place the cooked bacon on a paper towel lined plate to drain any excess grease. Spread the cubed bread in a prepared casserole dish and then sprinkle with half of the bacon pieces.

    Whisk together eggs, milk, half and half, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Pour over the bread and bacon. Cover the casserole dish and refrigerate. If you want to make the casserole on the same day, let it refrigerate for at least two hours. You can also refrigerate it overnight to bake the next morning. When you are ready to bake, mix up the crumb topping and sprinkle over the casserole. Sprinkle the remaining bacon and bake.

    Wright® Brand Bacon products are perfect for all cooking occasions and all holiday season long. I could add bacon to everything like using it in stuffing, casseroles, quiches, and even chocolate dipped bacon. This holiday season, Wright® Brand Bacon products are inspiring shoppers to try something new for the table, helping transform the dishes hosts can make, bring or pass on as a gift.

    Enjoy!

      This took forever to bake. I made it the night before and popped it in the oven at 7:30am. I took it out after the initial 45mins and it was raw egg throughout. I cooked for 10mins more uncovered but quickly realized that the top would burn by the time the rest was baked, so I re-covered the pan and took it out again to check at 8:45am…still very gooey, but making progress, so I covered the dish again and put it back in the 350-degree oven. I took it out again at 9:20am, thinking it was done I cut into a corner piece and plated it. It was still unappetizingly soggy with egg. I put that slice back into the pan, covered the dish again and we are now going on 10am and have yet to eat. I think it would be tasty, but 2hrs of baking and still soggy is ridiculous!
