Cube Bread. Slice the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and add to the bottom of a greased 9x13 baking dish.
Whisk eggs & milk. In a large mixing bowl whisk eggs, egg whites, milk, cream (coconut milk or half & half), brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla extract until combined.
Soak & Chill. Pour the egg milk mixture over the bread cubes in baking dish and cover tightly. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight (up to 8 hours).
Make streusel. Combine everything in a medium bowl until a crumbly mixture has formed. You can use a pastry cutter, two forks or even your hand.
Bake. Add streusel topping on top of the egg-soaked bread. Bake for 45 minutes, up to 55 minutes if you want a crustier topping and firmer texture.
– Fresh fruit – Serve with pure maple syrup for a classic french toast celebration. – Add whipped cream, yogurt or splash with heavy cream. – Top with orange zest and powdered sugar.
Store any leftovers in the fridge, covered in the baking dish, and enjoy within 5 days. To reheat, you can use the toaster oven “reheat” option for about 10 minutes, or simply microwave for about 30 seconds per large slice.
