Overnight Brioche French Toast Bake

1. Grease a 9″x13″ casserole dish with cooking spray. Cut brioche slices diagonally into triangles and set aside until ready to use.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and brown sugar until well combined. Gently dip each slice of bread into this mixture so that it is well coated, then place into the prepared casserole dish. Repeat until all slices are used and the casserole dish is full. Pour any remaining custard over the bread slices.
3. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
4. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 and remove the casserole from the refrigerator. Remove plastic wrap and bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes. If browning too quickly, cover the top of the casserole with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
5. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before sprinkling with powdered sugar and topping with fresh berries. Drizzle with maple syrup and serve!

Note: if your bread isn’t stale, you can dry it out by arranging it on a cookie sheet and heating in the oven at 300 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until dry. Let cool completely before using.
