French Toast Casserole

Some people get scared cooking for a crowd, but if you do something easy like this you’ll be spending more time visiting and less time in the kitchen. I think you could use French Bread cut into thicker slices if you can’t find Texas Toast on the bread isle. All Texas Toast is, is a thicker slice of bread. You could even use regular bread, but I would make three layers instead of 2.

Overall the dish has a good sweetness to it, so we didn’t use any extra syrup. Also I noticed if you flip the slices upside down and then reheat the sugar on the bottom melts better and isn’t all grainy on any leftovers you eat the next day.
