For the Casserole:<\/b><\/p>\n For the Streusel Topping:<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Grab your loaf of brioche or challah (or even croissants if you\u2019re feeling fancy) and slice it into thick slices. Cut those slices into 1-inch cubes. Spread the bread cubes evenly in a greased 9×13-inch casserole dish.<\/p>\n In a big mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined. You\u2019re basically making a magic custard potion that\u2019s going to soak into the bread.<\/p>\n Pour your custard potion over the bread cubes, making sure every piece gets a good soak. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it rest. For same-day baking, leave it on the counter for an hour. If you\u2019re planning ahead, refrigerate overnight\u2014this makes mornings so much easier!<\/p>\n While the casserole rests, whip up the streusel. Mix the cold butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and cardamom in a bowl. Use a pastry cutter (or your fingers) to crumble it all together until it looks like chunky sand. Keep it in the fridge until you\u2019re ready to bake.<\/p>\n Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F. Take the casserole out of the fridge (if it\u2019s been chilling) and let it sit for 30 minutes to come to room temperature. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the casserole. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy and your kitchen smells amazing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This brioche French toast casserole is like a blank canvas for your breakfast creativity!
