French Toast Casserole Muffins

Ingredients

  • Leftover sandwich crusts (from approx. 20-22 sandwiches, torn into small pieces)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (regular, oat, almond, or your choice)
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
  • Optional Toppings: Maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit

Instructions

  1. Prep the Muffin Tin:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Spray a 12-cup muffin tin (or multiple tins if needed) with nonstick cooking spray.
  1. Prepare the Crust Pieces:
  • Tear the leftover sandwich crusts into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  1. Make the Custard Mixture:
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar (if using).
  1. Soak the Crusts:
  • Add the torn crust pieces to the custard mixture. Gently toss until all the bread pieces are evenly coated.
  • Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, allowing the crusts to absorb the liquid fully.
  1. Fill the Muffin Tin:
  • Evenly divide the soaked bread mixture among the prepared muffin tin cups, filling them almost to the top. Press gently to compact the mixture.
  1. Bake:
  • Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the muffins are set.
  1. Cool and Serve:
  • Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit for an extra treat!
  1. Storage:
  • Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze: Wrap each muffin individually or store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.

Tips for Success

  • Customize the Flavor: Add nutmeg, orange zest, or a splash of maple syrup to the custard mixture for extra flavor.
  • Texture Tip: If you prefer a firmer texture, press the bread mixture more firmly into the muffin cups before baking.
  • Sweet or Savory: Experiment with savory versions by adding cheese, cooked bacon, or veggies to the mix!

This recipe is a fantastic way to reduce food waste and create a delicious, versatile snack or breakfast option. Thanks for sharing this gem! ❤️
