Chocolate French Toast Casserole Recipe Tips
- Start with stale bread, best French toast recipes are made with bread that is not very fresh. Also, if the bread is freshly baked it will get soggy very quickly and also it’s more prone to crumble and break. The bread that has been baked 3-4 days ago gives you the best results in this recipe.
- Also, use Challah bread, because it is a sweet egg-based bread, and is topped with a shiny, golden brown braid, which is perfect for this dish. The bread’s texture is denser, and it gets to absorb more of the chocolate mixture, which will make this casserole amazing.
- Since the Challah bread is thicker and denser, make sure it absorbs enough chocolate mixture. After soaking the bread into the mixture, I like to put over the bread any remaining chocolate mixture.
- In addition, use larger chocolate chips, as they don’t fully melt when baked and are amazing when you bite into them!
- Cut the bread into thick, large pieces, it will prevent the bread from getting too soggy and breaking into small, wet pieces.
- Bake the casserole to golden perfection and keep an eye not to burn it.
What to serve with Chocolate French Toast Casserole:
This is a perfect dish on its own. We like enjoying it as it is for breakfast with a cup of tea or coffee. However, you can also pair it with eggs, some bacon, or simply with some freshly squeezed orange juice.
