This has become my family’s Christmas morning tradition.
So easy since you prep it on Christmas Eve and pop in the oven while you open your stockings!
Night before:
10 oz.Challah (or Italian or French, but Challah is best) bread,
sliced 1 inch thick. Lay in bottom of greased 9×13 casserole dish.
Beat together 3 cups milk, 10 eggs, 1 T. Vanilla, ¼ C. sugar,
Pour over bread slices. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
Cover with clear wrap and refrigerate overnight.
In the Morning: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Remove clear wrap from casserole, dot with butter.
Bake 45-50 minutes, or until lightly browned and puffy.
