Recipe Tips

  • If the French toast is still looking very runny towards the end, then I recommend removing the lid. This method will help excess moisture evaporate and thicken up the casserole.
  • Using cream instead of milk will result in a richer and heavier meal. This choice just comes down to personal preference. Personally, I prefer it with cream, but you also add to the overall fat content of the dish.
  • You can do quite a few variations for making French toast in the slow cooker or crock-pot. One of my personal favorites is adding some chopped apple and spreading this between the layers of bread. This variation will result in soft chunks of apple throughout your French toast. Of course, you could just add about 1 cup of raisins to the egg mix instead.
  • Another variation is to use fruit bread instead of white bread. This change will give you a fruity casserole that has all those wonderful spices that are in fruit bread.
