Yummy French Toast Casserole - Egg-Free, Dairy-Free image

For the food-allergic people in your life, egg-free, dairy-free French toast casserole! Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, it's nice as a brunch item. This is our version of a recipe from a Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis newsletter ( http://www.foodallergy.org/ ). The original recipe called for unflavored rice milk, 1/4 tsp vanilla extract, and milk-free, soy-free margarine, so it can be converted to a soy-free dish as well, though we haven't tried it. I think the critical thing is using bread with a nice, crisp texture; it wouldn't be as good with bread that was soft and squishy!

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons soy margarine, melted (milk-free)
1 cup vanilla-flavored soymilk
1/3 cup light corn syrup (we use Karo light corn syrup)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 cup dark molasses
1 (16 ounce) artisan bread (milk-free, egg-free) or 1 (16 ounce) French bread, cut into 1 inch cubes (milk-free, egg-free)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (again)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 400°F.
  • Spray a 9x13" baking dish with cooking spray (note: do _NOT_ use butter-flavor cooking spray! This contains dairy ingredients).
  • Combine melted margarine, vanilla soy milk, corn syrup, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, salt, and molasses in a large bowl.
  • Fold bread into mixture so that it absorbs liquid evenly. Place in prepared baking dish, and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake 15 minutes.
  • Remove foil, and bake 15 minutes more.
  • Sprinkle 1/2 tsp cinnamon over the top.
  • Top as desired - allergen-safe syrup, fruit, or powdered sugar.
