BEST BANANAS FOSTER FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE

This was yummy! I did make one change because I didn’t have heavy cream on hand. So I used 2% milk. It still baked up nicely. But my nutritional percentages are quite different. 1 piece: 426 calories, 23g fat (11g saturated fat) 138mg Cholesterol, 262mg Sodium, 52g Carbohydrate, 8g Protein.

This recipe was deceptively easy and turned out beautifully. It would be a great brunch dish for company!

This was good. I cut the recipe in half and used a smaller baking dish. I buttered and floured the baking dish and had no trouble removing it.

I really loved this recipe because of how easy it was to put together and you can put it together the night before. I did use milk in place of the heavy whipping cream because it’s what I had on hand. I think it turned out great even though I used milk. I used regular bread too.

This was delicious! A weekend splurge definitely. The only thing I would change would be to spray the pan with cooking spray before adding the ingredients. When I inverted it to serve, part of it stuck to the pan.
