Here are two breakfast casseroles we love! Kids really love this stuff. My grown up kids don't like raisins so I make it with plain white bread when they come.
French Toast Casserole
1 loaf cinnamon raisin bread or white bread.
8 eggs
2 cups milk
1 can pet milk
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons margarine spread on the bread
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Grease 13x9" pan. Cut bread into 1" wide strips. Put one layer into bottom of pan.
Beat eggs, milk, sugar, salt and vanilla in a large bowl. Pour over bread. Sprinkle the top of the bread with cinnamon.
When ready to cook, place pan in COLD oven. Turn temperature to 350ºF and bake for 45-50 minutes. When touched, it should spring back.
Allow to set for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with syrup or fruit compotes.
I bet those figs would be yummmmy with this!!! Hawk

Egg and Sausage Casserole
This is a very basic version of the breakfast casserole that are prepared the night before. You may add chopped onions, peppers and seasonings. Also, bacon could be substituted for the sausage. This works very well on a buffet since it does not need to be served piping hot.
1 pound bulk breakfast sausage (can use link sausage but removed the casing :)
6 cups fresh bread cubes (1/2 to 3/4-inch pieces)
6 eggs
2 cups milk
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until lightly browned and cooked through, breaking apart the large clumps as needed. Drain on paper towels and cool. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the milk, salt and pepper; whisk until well blended. Stir in the cooked sausage, cheese and bread cubes until well combined. Pour into the baking dish; cover and refrigerate overnight. To heat, preheat the oven to 350° F. Bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let set about 5 minutes before cutting.
I like syrup on mine!
