French toast casserole? It sounds great! Would you mind sharing the recipe?
***Just a note: I find that this needs to bake a little longer than suggested, about an hour seems to work best for my tastes.
Baked French Toast Casserole
Serves/Makes: 8
Ingredients:
1 loaf French bread (13 to 16 ounce size)
8 large eggs
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 dash salt
Maple syrup
***Praline Topping*
1 cup butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Directions:
Slice French bread into 1-inch slices. Arrange slices in a generously buttered 9 by 13-inch flat baking dish in 2 rows, overlapping the slices.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, half-and-half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and beat with a rotary beater or whisk until blended but not too bubbly. Pour mixture over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly with the milk-egg mixture. Spoon some of the mixture in between the slices. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
The next day, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Spread Praline Topping evenly over the bread and bake for 40 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden. Serve with maple syrup.
Praline Topping:
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and blend well.

Monkey Bread
4 tubes of rolls (not buttermilk)
1/2 C sugar
1/4 C cinnamon
1/2 lb butter
2 tbsp cinnamon
1/4 C sugar
cut rolls into quarters roll in cinn/sugar mixture, some people just dump them into a bag
with the cinn/sugar. Melt the butter adding in the 2 tbsp cinn and 1/4 cup sugar.
Put the rolls into the bundt pan (well greased) just layer and then pour the butter mix over
the top for 30 mins at 350 degrees. It is so yummy. I usually add some vanilla to the butter
mixture for more flavor. I have a friend who uses the cinnamon rolls in the tubes instead.
It is called Monkey Bread as you eat it by pulling at it and pulling it apart (like a Monkey
would) This stuff is sooo good and so fattening..my guys really look forward to
it every Christmas.
I make monkey on Christmas also;) Just a little different though 1 stick of butter and 3/4 brown sugar melt together and pour over cut up (2 tubes)rolls rolled in cinn/sugar in the bundt pan. Bake at 350 for 20-25 mins. Nice and caramely!

For the last few years, my husband get's Cinnabon as a special Christmas morning treat. We are expats that live outside of the USA, so Cinnabon is open on Christmas. He knows the guys that work the one here on the compound, so he lets them know the night before what we need and they have it fresh and ready the following morning. It gets delivered here at the house and we tip them for bringing it.
In the past we have made a breakfast casserole.
