A hands-off breakfast favorite, this Slow Cooker French Toast Casserole is made with custard-soaked brioche or challah and topped with vibrant berry compote.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf day-old brioche or challah, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk or half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 cups mixed berries
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (for compote)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut day-old brioche or challah into 1-inch cubes and place evenly in the slow cooker insert.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk or half-and-half, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Whisk in melted butter.
  3. Pour custard mixture evenly over bread cubes. Press gently to ensure bread absorbs custard. Let sit for 15-20 minutes if possible.
  4. Cover slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours until custard is set and edges are golden and slightly crispy.
  5. While casserole cooks, combine mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes until berries break down. Stir in cornstarch slurry if thicker compote is desired, cook for 1 more minute, then remove and cool slightly.
  6. Serve casserole warm topped with berry compote.

Notes

Using day-old bread yields the best texture. You can also toast fresh slices briefly to remove excess moisture before cubing.
