How to Make French Toast in a Crock Pot

Aunt Lou here.

Oh. My. Yum.

Have you seen my post over on Goodeness Gracious about Momma’s French Toast? If not, you will want to check that out too! And you will see that I LOVE French Toast. It has such a strong connection to wonderful memories from my childhood, and well it is just amazingly yummy!

When I saw this recipe in Gooseberry Patch’s Slow-Cooker Fall Favorites, I knew I had to make it. I also knew I was going to make a few tweaks so that it would taste have the same great flavor of Momma’s French Toast. You see, one of Momma’s secrets is that she never skimps on her vanilla and cinnamon, so I knew I had to add in some vanilla on this Slow Cooker French Toast Casserole.

I also tried something different for the crumble that you put on top. You see, I REALLY stink at making a crumble. I can never get my butter to just the right softness. It is either too hard and won’t mix at all or too soft and just becomes a melted mess. So I tried cutting together with a couple of knives my softened butter (which was too soft at the time!) with the brown sugar and vanilla. It was kind of a globby mess, but I put it in the fridge while the bread mixture was chillin’ out in there. When it was time to sprinkle the crumble on top, I broke up my globby mess over the top of the casserole and it became the best crumble this girl has ever made! Who knew?! You know what they say, necessity is the mother of invention!

    I added 1/2 cup pure maple syrup to the egg mixture. To the bread mixture ,I added some freshly, crumbled bacon for an added texture.

      I’m so sorry to hear that Holly! I’m not sure why it would have been mushy. This recipe doesn’t give you a crisp casserole, but it definitely shouldn’t be mushy. Did you use French Bread? Maybe you can try it with a little less milk next time to see if that helps. If you make adjustments and try it again, let me know how it goes!

FAQs

How do you keep French toast casserole from getting soggy? ›

It could be because of the bread you used. If the bread you start with is too soft (such as white sandwich bread), it won't absorb all of the wonderful custard that it should, and it might end up soggy. If you find yourself with a soggy casserole, for whatever reason, try baking it a bit longer until it firms up some.

How do I reduce the liquid in my slow cooker? ›

If it comes to serving and you open your slow cooker to find a watery sauce, never fear we have an easy answer. Take the lid off, turn the machine up to high heat and leave it for 30-45 minutes to let excess moisture cook off. The liquid will reduce, leaving you with a thick and delicious gravy or sauce.

Can you make French toast ahead of time and reheat? ›

Freezer and Make-Ahead Tips

Freeze cooked French Toast Casserole for up to three months. Remove it from the freezer the day before you want to serve it and let thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Cover the pan with foil, then reheat at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until warmed through.

Why is my breakfast casserole soupy? ›

Why Is My Breakfast Casserole Runny? The key to a breakfast casserole that is moist and delicious but not runny is to make sure you have the proper ratio of bread, eggs, and milk. If there is too much liquid for the bread to absorb, the result could be a runny casserole.

What is one common mistake when preparing French toast? ›

If the pan isn't hot enough when you put your first slice in, the custard spreads out, forming a "foot" on the bottom of the French toast. When the pan is hot enough, the batter won't have time to seep; the custard will start cooking as soon as it hits the pan. Give the pan a light coating of neutral oil and butter.

What happens if you soak French toast too long? ›

The first is using fresh bread, which soaks up too much of the egg mixture and doesn't cook through, remaining eggy and soggy in the middle. Leaving the bread in the egg mixture for too long is another route to soggy French toast.

How do you get the egg taste out of French toast? ›

A basic rule of thumb is about 1/4 cup of milk and one egg per two-slice serving—and if you want to avoid that "scrambled" taste, use only the yolks of some or all of the eggs. (Sulfur compounds in the whites are what give eggs their unique "egg" taste.)

Is 4 hours on high the same as 8 hours on low in a slow cooker? ›

The difference between "High" and "Low" on slow cookers seems to differ with every brand and model. One thing that is consistent, though, is that food takes seven to eight hours to reach a simmer point (around 210°) on low; versus three to four hours on high.

How do you thicken a casserole in a slow cooker? ›

A slurry is a mixture of flour and water, whisked together until smooth and added towards the end of cooking; it's a super-simple way to thicken any soup. For slow cooker soups, add your slurry with at least 30 minutes of cook time left so that the raw flour can cook and thicken the soup. Need a gluten-free option?

How often should you flip French toast? ›

Forks tend to rip the bread so they are not a good choice. Continue until the pan is full with a single layer of toast. Cook until golden brown and all of the batter looks cooked, then flip with a turner and cook the second side until golden brown. If needed, adjust the temperature, so it doesn't burn or stay soggy.

How do you keep a casserole from drying out? ›

Pro Tip: Avoid Dry Casserole.

The best way to prevent it from drying out is to add a little bit of water, around ¼ cup, to the top of it. Allow the water to seep between the food and the sides of the baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil to seal in the moisture.

How do you save a watery casserole? ›

Just because your casserole is starting to look a bit soupy doesn't mean it's beyond saving. In fact, all you need to do is add some pasta noodles or grains to your base. This trick works for the simple reason that both types of ingredients soak up water as they cook.

How do you fix a casserole that is too dry? ›

If you've already cooked your casserole and find out it's too dry, another easy fix is to warm some broth and then pour it over the top of your casserole. Cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent the liquid from evaporating and wait for 10 minutes or so before serving.
