French Toast Forest Casserole

1. 1

   Cut out the tree shapes in the bread using a cookie cutter. You can also free-form the tree shape by hand if you do not have a cookie cutter.

2. 2

   Grease your 8- or 9-inch cast iron pan (or any round baking dish).

3. 3

   Line up the trees in the pan with a bit of an overlap, so they are standing up.

4. 4

   In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, jam, sugar and cinnamon until smooth and well-combined.

5. 5

   Pour the egg mixture over the bread. Being sure to soak the tips of the trees as well as the bases.

6. 6

   Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight. This is to ensure the mixture is soaked up by the bread.

7. 7

   When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

8. 8

   Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with fresh fruit, maple syrup and butter or your prefered toppings.
