What is a french toast casserole?

A french toast casserole is very similar to a bread pudding (in fact some might say it’s one and the same). But it’s basically a mixture of cubed sliced bread, eggs, milk, and seasonings like cinnamon and vanilla. Mixed together and bakes you get a soft custardy center with crisp buttery edges and it makes a great addition to the breakfast table. We make our baked french toast with blueberries for that added color and burst of flavors in every bite.

Recipe Tips

You can use fresh or frozen blueberries. Either one will work just fine and if using frozen berries you do not need to thaw them first.

You do not need to chill your casserole overnight before baking but allowing the bread longer to soak in that moisture helps to give you a nicer consistency and helps the flavors to develop more.

FAQs

How long is baked coconut french toast good for?

The leftovers from this coconut french toast is good for about 3-5 days if kept well covered and stored in the fridge. This should give you plenty of time to enjoy it throughout the week. You could also store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months and simply thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

What can I use instead of coffee creamer?

If you do not wish to use coffee creamer you can use half and half or regular milk (or a non-dairy milk alternative). They will all work out just fine but will not give you a coconut flavor. If you want some of the coconut flavors added back I would recommend mixing the milk with up to a teaspoon of coconut extract before adding it to the casserole.

Can I make crockpot blueberry french toast?

This easy blueberry french toast can be made in the crock pot by assembling as directed and then cooking on low for about 3-4 hours or until the eggs are fully cooked through and the internal temperature of the dish is 165 degrees F. Cooking on high is not recommended because it can cause the bottom of the casserole to burn or the milk to separate and possibly curdle.
