To make this Easy French Toast Casserole, you will need the following ingredients:

To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange the sliced bread in the baking dish, making sure to overlap the slices slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. Pour the mixture over the bread slices, making sure to coat each slice evenly. Cover the dish with foil and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
When ready to bake, remove the dish from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the bread slices.
Bake the casserole for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries or maple syrup.
This Easy French Toast Casserole is a perfect combination of sweet and savory flavors. The bread is soft and custardy, while the cinnamon and nutmeg add a warm and cozy flavor. The dish is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for busy mornings or brunches.
