Ingredients

1 loaf day-old French bread

2 cups Hiland Whole Milk

7 large eggs

3/4 cup brown sugar

3/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Pinch of kosher salt

TOPPING

1/2 cup Hiland Butter, cut into cubes

1/2 cup flour

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 cup berries (fresh or frozen)

HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM

1 cup Hiland Heavy Cream

1 Tablespoon sugar

Instructions

  1. Grease a 9×13 casserole dish and set aside.
  2. Cut the French bread loaf into cubes and layer in the casserole dish. You want two layers of bread.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt together until combined. Pour egg mixture over the bread layers and make sure to cover all the bread.
  4. Cover and place in the fridge overnight or at least 3 hours.
  5. To make the topping: place the cubed butter, flour, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Using a pastry cutter or two forks (or even your hands), combine the mixture together until it forms crumbles. Refrigerate until ready to bake the French toast.
  6. To bake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour crumble mixture over the top of the casserole evenly. Then, top with the berries. Bake for 40-50 minutes uncovered.
  7. To make the homemade whipped cream: in a medium bowl, pour in the heavy cream and sugar. Mix with a stand mixer or hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
  8. Once casserole is done baking, top with the whipped cream (and don’t forget the maple syrup)!
