Gluten Free French Toast Casserole

1 package of Gluten Free Whole Grain Hamburger Buns

6-8 eggs

2 cups canned milk

1T vanilla extract

Topping:

1 stick (1/2 C.) butter

1C. brown sugar

1C. chopped walnuts or pecans

Break the bread into bite size chunks and place into a greased 9×12 casserole dish. Mix the egg, milk and vanilla well in a large bowl. (Add more milk if necessary, you will want enough liquid mixture to completely cover and saturate the bread. It should be a bit soupy because as it sits overnight the bread will absorb the extra liquid.)

Pour the liquid over the bread chunks and press down gently with a spoon to be sure all the cubes are getting a good coating.

Soften the butter for 30 seconds in the microwave. Place the brown sugar, walnuts and softened butter into a Ziploc bag, close and squish to mix well.

Cover the casserole with saran, place the Ziploc bag on top, and put in the refrigerator to set overnight.

In the morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees, remove the saran, crumble the sugar mixture on top and bake for 50-55 minutes. Serve with syrup.
