    This is basically how I use up bread ends that no one seems to want. Keep them in the freezer until I have a breakfast's worth and make Saturday mornings. The firmness of the ends holds up nicely too.

    Why yes, this segment did end rather abruptly. The final minute:
    Bridget: It's definitely not a bread pudding. It's French toast.
    Keith: Yeah, it's like French toast coming from a traditional skillet or a griddle.
    B: Perfectly spiced. I'm digging the almonds.
    K: I think that's the key, having the almonds on there. It makes it just a little bit different from the normal French toast.
    B: This is a home-run breakfast.
    K: I'm glad you liked it!
    B: Might even have it for dinner. Thanks, Keith!
    K: You're welcome!
    B: Why don't you make yourself a French Toast Casserole? And it starts by sprinkling brown sugar and spices on the bottom of a buttered skillet, layer potato bread with more sugar and butter and top with almonds before baking.
    B: So from America's Test Kitchen, the fabulous way to breakfast, it's Cast Iron French Toast Casserole. You can get this great recipe and all the recipes from this season along with product reviews and select episodes and those are all on our website.
    B: Mm-mm-mm.

    To make it extra special for Christmas morning breakfast I would add a little Vanilla extract and some Cointreau to the custard and a little Cardamom to the spice mix. I’d leave out the sliced Almonds though.

      It could be possible, but since you're not using dried bread, it may not come out the same. It doesn't take long to throw together, so throwing it together right before cooking shouldn't take much out of your morning. Also, because this is being prepared and cooked in cast iron, you should be careful about letting the mixture sit overnight in the pan because brown sugar is slightly acidic.

      @@katherinesmith9985 Thank you for the tips! I actually just saw a woman who put all her baking ingredients together in ziplock bags ahead of time so she can throw it together even faster. I'm definitely going to try this. Every year, I swear I'm going to do a make ahead casserole but then I'm too tired on Christmas Eve. Happy Holidays ATK!

    I'll probably have to use three eggs and one and a quarter cup of milk for my 10.25 inch cast iron skillet, but look forward to making this on Christmas morn at our new home ! Some vanilla ice cream and maple syrup on top seems like a nice addition as well...
