Christmas Casserole
Are you looking for something to make quickly on Christmas morning so you don't miss any of the fun around the tree? Well, you've come to the right place. I already shared my the Cinnamon Biscuits and Breakfast Pizza w/ you, and now I have a warm, sweet and satisfying casserole perfect for any morning, or like us, for an easy winter's night supper. Serve up some bacon on the side, and you have a full meal deal! (Especially quick if you buy the precooked bacon!!) We love breakfast foods for supper, so I am always trying to find ways to keep it fresh and new. But I can totally see where some of you would want to whip this up in between waking up and unwrapping everything under the tree. Now I'm the mom that is always the first one up on Christmas morning, so if you're like me, this would be perfect to throw together while everyone else is "coming to", and bake off while the wrapping paper is flying. Whenever you decide to make it, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did, and if it does end up on your Christmas plate, it makes me feel good to know I can share in your family's Christmas just a tiny bit!!
French Toast Casserole
Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 9x13 pan w/ cooking spray. Place bread cubes in bottom of pan. In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk, 2 TBS sugar, salt and vanilla. Mix well. Sprinkle raisins over bread. Pour egg mixture evenly over top. Dot w/ butter. Let stand 10 minutes. Combine 2 TBS sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over top. Bake for 45-50 minutes until browned on top. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve w/ warm maple syrup.
*NOTE* Have you seen the baking raisins at the store? I found mine on a display of holiday cooking items. They are plumper and juicier than regular raisins. Therefore, when baked, stay moist and don't dry out.
