• The day before you want to serve this, spray a 9" x 13" baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• Cut or tear the French bread into 1" pieces and place them evenly in your baking dish. The bread should be about even with the top of your baking dish.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs and whisk to break them up.  Add the milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg and whisk again until all the ingredients are combined.
• Pour your egg mixture evenly over the bread, covering as much of it as possible. Use a fork to gently stir your bread and egg mixture together.
• Cover with saran wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 4 hours to allow time for the bread to soak up all of the liquid.

For the Streusel Topping

• In a medium-size mixing bowl, add the room temperature butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon.  Stir or mix with a fork until the streusel has ¼" pieces.  You can also use a standing mixer with the paddle attachment on low speed, making sure to stop the mixer once you have ¼" pieces.

How to Bake Overnight French Toast

• In the morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Take the baking dish out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the bread and egg mixture.
• Bake in your preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top and edges are light golden brown.  
• Remove from the oven and cool slightly before slicing. Serve with whipped cream, berries, or your favorite syrup.  Enjoy!
