Pear Almond French Toast Casserole: Easy Overnight Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.25 cup butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 (29 ounce) can pear halves, cut lengthwise into 4 slices
• 1 (1 pound) loaf sourdough bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2.5 cups eggs
• 1.5 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
• 0.25 cup sliced almonds

Instructions

1. Place butter cubes evenly in a 10x14-inch baking dish. Sprinkle brown sugar over the butter. Arrange pear slices on the bottom, followed by a single layer of bread cubes.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined. Pour evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight (8 hours or more).
