French Toast Caserole

I made this recipe recently for a bridal shower. It was really good and easy to make for a crowd.

Ingredients

• 5 cups bread cubes (I used Challah bread)
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1/4 cup white sugar, divided
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon margarine, softened
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter and 8x8 baking pan.
2. Line bottom of pan with bread cubes. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar, salt and vanilla. Pour egg mixture over bread. Dot with margarine; let stand for 10 minutes.
3. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle over the top. Bake in preheated oven about 45-50 minutes, until top is golden.

***I doubled the recipe for a big group and put it in a 9x13 baking pan.
