Slow Cooker French Toast Casserole is perfect for lazy or busy mornings. Do a few minutes of prep work and have breakfast in the Crock Pot cooking overnight
Whisk together milk, eggs, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour into the bowl. Make sure the bread is completely covered in the mixture. Refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours.
When ready to cook, lightly grease the inside of a slow cooker. Add the mixture in an even layer and cover. Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours. Keep on WARM for up to 2 hours.
If the casserole has a lot of uncooked egg on top after 8 hours, turn the slow cooker to High for 30-60 minutes until done. Note that there will be some liquid on the edges from condensation and the melted sugar.
Serve with maple syrup or powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
*This works best with day-old bread, so it can really absorb the mixture. Do not use soft or white bread as it will likely not hold up well while soaking.*Use unsweetened dairy-free milk for a dairy-free version.*Use gluten-free bread for a gluten-free version.*After 10 hours, the casserole will be very overcooked.
