French Toast casserole

French Toast Casserole - a yummy and very easy breakfast

Ingredients
5 cups bread cubes
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup white sugar, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon margarine, softened*
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly butter an 8x8 inch baking pan**.
2.Line bottom of pan with bread cubes. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, 2 tablespoons sugar, salt and vanilla. pour egg mixture over bread. Dot with margarine; let stand for 10 minutes.
3.Combine remaining 2 tablespoons sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle over the top. Bake in preheated oven about 45 to 50 minutes, until top is golden.

**I used a 9x13 pan. Next time I'd add another egg or two
*I would omit next time

This breakfast was very good, and I liked the fact that it didn't have to be made the night before. I'm going to try it in the crock pot next.
