This recipe is easy to make and is a great way to utilize leftover bread that may be going stale. Simply fill a pan with slices of bread, and then combine sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, eggs and milk in a bowl. Once the liquid is completely combined, pour it over the bread in a baking dish and allow the casserole to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or even over night. After the casserole has been baked, you can serve it with powdered sugar, syrup or whipped cream with some fruit. In this video, Chef Susie will show you how to make a satisfying breakfast casserole that the whole family will enjoy. For more great cooking demonstration videos, subscribe to the LearnToCookOnline YouTube channel.
