Have you had a French toast casserole before?  It’s all the flavors of great French toast, but is made the night before.  The bread soaks up all the amazing custard, then the morning of, just pop it in the oven and prepare to be amazed!!

This post was brought to you by the makers of Promised Land Dairy. I received compensation to write this post through the #FarFromOrdinaryMilk program. All opinions expressed are my own.

Overnight S'mores French Toast Casserole | Perfect for a holiday breakfast or brunch, sourdough bread is mixed with chocolate chips, marshmallows and graham crackers, then baked up into pure French toast perfection! | https://thechunkychef.com | #frenchtoast #breakfast #brunch #casseroleIt’s no secret that I love breakfast foods… I mean REALLY love them.  Although I’m generally not in the mood for cooking first thing in the morning.

But my family still needs to eat right?  That’s why I love these overnight breakfast recipes!  So far I’ve shared my bourbon cinnamon French toast casserole and my overnight breakfast strata, and I’ve gotten such great feedback from you about those recipes!

Even though summer is over, I still crave s’mores flavors… so I thought it would be fun to add those flavors to a French toast casserole!  And man is it ever delicious!!

To make it even better, I use Promised Land Dairy Midnight Chocolate Milk instead of a traditional white milk.  The extra chocolatey flavor is spectacular!  Have you ever tried the Midnight Chocolate Milk?

It’s smooth, rich, creamy and is loaded with natural chocolate flavor made from the highest quality cocoa.  Plus, it literally tastes like melted chocolate ice cream!

My favorite bread to use is a crusty sourdough or French, but a challah is fantastic as well.  Around here, fresh baked challah bread isn’t all that easy to find, unfortunately.

To make this French toast casserole, just whip it up the night before you want to eat it, then cover and refrigerate.  The next morning, uncover and bake.  Easy peasy right?!

While this casserole is perfect for any old regular weekday/weekend breakfast, it’s amazing for a holiday breakfast or brunch!

Your guests will absolutely love you for serving this to them, and I guarantee you, they’ll be asking for the recipe!

HELPFUL TOOLS:

  •  Oval Baker – I love how lightweight, yet sturdy this dish is… I use it often!

This French toast casserole is made with chocolate milk, and studded with chocolate chips and mini marshmallows, then topped with crushed graham crackers!

Ingredients

  • 12 oz day old sourdough or French bakery bread
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups Promised Land Dairy Midnight Chocolate Milk
  • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (any variety)
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers
  • powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  • Spray a 2 or 3 quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.  Set aside.
  • Use a serrated bread knife to cube bread into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch squares.  Add bread cubes to prepared baking dish.  
  • Sprinkle with most of the chocolate chips, marshmallows and crushed graham crackers, reserving some of each for later.
  • In a mixing bowl, add eggs, chocolate milk, sugar and vanilla.  Whisk to combine well, and pour mixture over bread cubes.

  • To the top of the bread, add the remainder of the chocolate chips, marshmallows and crushed graham crackers.
  • Cover dish tightly with foil and refrigerate overnight.

Chef Tips

My loaf of sourdough bread is 16 oz, so I use 3/4 of the loaf and use the rest for some amazing grilled cheese sandwiches!

    How long does it have to be taken out of the fridge for because I didn’t do it can it be put right in the oven from the fridge?

      It can, but it may need a bit longer to bake.

    If i double the recipe for a larger crowd, do you think it would fit in a 9×13?

      It may end up being too full for a 9×13, but you could grab one of those disposable pans that are larger.

    Could this be made in a crock pot somehow?

      Hi Kim, I’m sorry, I’ve never tested this recipe as a slow cooker recipe so I can’t say for certain if it could or couldn’t.
