How to Make Slow Cooker French Toast Casserole
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

- Cube the Bread: Cut the loaf of bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in the slow cooker.
Step 2: Whisk the Egg Mixture
- Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, salt, and melted butter until well combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Casserole
- Pour Mixture Over Bread: Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes in the slow cooker. Gently stir to ensure all the bread is coated with the mixture.
