King's Hawaiian Bread French Toast Casserole Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 King's Hawaiian Round Bread Loaf
• 5 large eggs
• 2 cups milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees to make your hawaiian french toast.
2. Whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon together until well blended.
3. Cut the loaf of King's Hawaiian bread into six large slices. Turn and cut again so you get chunks of bread like this:
4. Use the butter to grease a baking pan. I use a Wilton UltraGold 10 Inch Round Pan.
5. Grab three to four pieces of bread and dip into mixture. I like to thoroughly coat the bread so nothing looks dry. Place the coated pieces into the pan. I put all pieces next to each leaving little room between.
6. Drizzle the remaining mixture over your uncooked casserole.
7. In a small bowl, combine the remaining brown sugar and cinnamon. Generously sprinkle over the casserole. This makes a nice, crunchy, sweet topping.
8. Bake for 50-55 minutes. Inside should be solid. I use a wooden skewer to test (stick in it and make certain it comes out clean). Top should be golden brown and look like this:
9. Remove casserole and let it sit for about 10 minutes to settle.
10. Cut the casserole into 3-inch squares. Top with butter and syrup.
