Nutella French Toast Casserole with banana cinnamon syrup is  a perfect Mother's Day breakfast or brunch recipe.

Back in 2011, I hosted a Mother's Day Brunch for the Mother's in my family.

I wanted to make something special so I made Double Stuffed Nutella French Toast.

That recipe is still talked about among the family. It is so good!

While I was flipping through a copy of The Annual Cast Iron Editon (Feb 2016 issue) from Taste of the South Magazine I saw a recipe for French Toast Casserole.

As soon as I saw that recipe I knew I was going to convert my Double Stuffed Nutella French Toast recipe into this Nutella French Toast Casserole recipe you see here.

I used the new Sara Lee Artisanal bread. We fell in love with this new bread from Sara Lee when I made my Breakfast Grilled Cheese sandwiches last month.

If you can't find it you can use a good thick bread like the White Mountian bread that Publix carries in their bakery.

Or use any thick sliced bread you can find. Regular sandwich bread is too thin. You need a good thick slice of bread for this recipe.

This Skillet French Toast Casserole not only tastes awesome but makes a beautiful presentation.

Serving food in cast iron skillets it so much fun. I love easy one pan meals like this breakfast casserole recipe.

Ingredients for Nutella French Toast Casserole

  • 12 Pieces Sara Lee Artisanal Bread, cut in half diagonally
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 ½ cups milk
  • 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon, divided
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup warmed Nutella

Directions to make Nutella French Toast Casserole

  • Brush an 8-inch iron skillet with the melted butter.
  • Arrange the pieces of bread in a circle in the skillet
  • In a large bowl mix the eggs, milk, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, ¼ cup of sugar, vanilla extract and salt.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the bread in the skillet. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the egg mixture.
  • Mix the Nutella with ½ teaspoon of cinnamon and warm in the microwave.
  • Drizzle the warmed Nutella over the top of the bread in the skillet.
  • Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar over the top of the bread.

Banana Syrup Ingredients

  • 1-2 small bananas
  • 1 cup favorite pancake syrup
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions for Banana Cinnamon Syrup

  1. Mix the sliced bananas, cinnamon, and syrup. Pour over each serving.

Expert Recipe Tips

  • Bread: Use a thick sliced bread. This helps the egg soaked slices hold their shape.
  • Syrup: I wanted an extra special syrup for this recipe. You can use bottles pancake syrup also.
  • Leftovers: Leftover can be refrigerated and eaten within a couple of days.
  • Freezer friendly: You could also warp individual pieces in plastic wrap and freeze them for another day.
