Ingredients

16 ounce loaf of French bread brioche would work too
10 eggs
1 ¾ cups milk
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¾ cup Nutella plus more for topping
powdered sugar for dusting
raspberries for topping

Instructions

Spray a 9x13" baking dish with cooking spray.
Cut the loaf of bread into 1" chunks and evenly spread them in baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread chunks, making sure it gets evenly distributed. You may need to press some of the top pieces down into the liquid just a little.
Place Nutella in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30-60 seconds, until it is drizzle-able.
Drizzle the warm Nutella over all of the casserole, making sure it is evenly distributed and in all of the little nooks and crannies.
Cover with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Once ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes, until golden brown and egg mixture has set.
Serve topped with additional warm Nutella, powdered sugar, and raspberries.
Enjoy!

Notes

Use a different bread. If you don't have or can't find French bread, you can use brioche, croissants, or Italian bread!

Serve with fruit. I served ours with raspberries but any type of berry would work - strawberries, blueberries, blackberries. Peaches or banana would also be delicious!

Storage. Store leftover French toast casserole in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave.

Freezer Friendly. You can freeze this French toast casserole with Nutella before or after baking. I have done both. If you freeze it before baking, be sure to thaw it in the fridge 1-2 days in advance. If it is still frozen in the middle, let it sit out on the counter for an hour or two, and you may have to add 5-10 minutes to the baking time.
