Creating a delicious French Toast Casserole is simple with the following easy steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Bread: Place the cubed French bread into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
4. Combine: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cubed bread, making sure all pieces are coated.
5. Soak: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it soak in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best results).
6. Bake: Remove the plastic wrap and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and set in the middle.
7. Drizzle: Once baked, remove from the oven and drizzle with maple syrup before serving.
8. Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Following these steps will help you create a wonderful French Toast Casserole that impresses everyone at the breakfast table.
