Steps:

• Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• For the casserole: Trim the ends from 1 loaf day-old brioche (about 1 pound) and cut into ten 1-inch thick slices. Cut each slice in half diagonally to make two triangles from each piece. (If the bread is fresh, dry it out a bit. Place the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 300 degrees F for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.)
• Whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until well blended. Dip each triangle of bread in the custard, lightly coating each side. Shingle the pieces in the prepared pan, overlapping slightly.
• Pour any remaining custard over the bread slices. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
• When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let rest 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature before baking. Remove the plastic wrap and bake until the casserole is golden and puffed and the custard is set, 45 to 50 minutes.
• For the topping: bring the butter, sugar and syrup to a boil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the butter is melted and the mixture is begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla, a pinch of salt, and the walnuts, stirring to coat. Turn off the heat and add the sliced bananas, stirring to coat evenly. Spoon the desired amount of the banana-syrup mixture over the casserole and serve any additional on the side.

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, whisk together the first 7 ingredients. Preheat a greased griddle over medium heat., Dip bread in egg mixture, letting it soak 5 seconds on each side. Cook on griddle until golden brown on both sides. Serve with toppings as desired.

Steps:

• Beat together egg, milk, salt, desired spices and vanilla.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or skillet over medium-high heat.
• Dunk each slice of bread in egg mixture, soaking both sides. Place in pan, and cook on both sides until golden. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Grease a 9x13x2 rectangular baking dish.
• Place half the bread cubes in the dish.
• Sprinkle with cream cheese cubes and then remaining bread cubes.
• Combine eggs, cream, melted butter and syrup.
• Mix well and pour over bread and cheese cubes.
• Using a spatula, press layers down to moisten.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours, or overnight.
• Remove plastic wrap and bake uncovered for 35- 40 minutes at 350ºF, or until set and golden brown.
• Let stand about 10 minutes before cutting.
• Top with your favorite syrup, or apple cider syrup (see database), or a big dollop of whipped cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350; bake whole slices of bread on cookie sheet until dry, toasting minimally. (Or use a toaster, or lie them out over night - just dehydrate them).
• Spread cream cheese on six slices; lay flat in greased 13 x 9 inch pan.
• Sandwich with another six slices.
• Spread pie filling over second layer; sprinkle over plumped raisins.
• Top with six more slices of bread.
• In large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, milks, vanilla, syrup, and spices.
• Pour over casserole.
• Refridgerate overnight.
• Place pan in oven before turning it on; turn oven to 350 and bake for 55-60 minutes or until set.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Coat a 13 X 9-inch casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside. Cut baguette into 1/2-inch cubes and spread along the bottom of the dish. In a large bowl, combine eggs, buttermilk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well and pour over bread. Cover with plastic wrap and press down lightly, so the bread absorbs the egg mixture. Refrigerate at least 2 hours (or overnight) before baking. Bake for 45 minutes, or until eggs are set. When removed from oven, sprinkle with brown sugar and let stand for 10-15 minutes before serving.
