  • Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Notes

This casserole is perfect for brunch or a special breakfast. The overnight chilling allows the bread to soak up the custard mixture, resulting in a wonderfully soft and flavorful dish.
