1 loaf of French bread cut up and cubed Bread is best if it is day old, or left on the counter for 1 day.
6 large eggs
2 cups of milk (I use whole but you can use 2%
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
1/4 cup butter softened
1/2 cup brown sugar packed
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg optional

Take one loaf of French bread, cut it into cubes and place the bread cubes into a large bowl at least one hour in advance so it can get hard.
In another bowl, place your eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and beat together until well blended.
Pour your egg and milk mixture over your bread cubes and toss until all the bread is coated.
Spray your Slow Cooker with cooking spray or use a crock pot liner. Don't forget this step.
Add your coated bread mixture into slow cooker and press mixture down into Crock Pot.
Take your butter, brown sugar and cream together with a fork until crumbles form.
Take your crumbles and sprinkle over bread mixture.
Cover and place in your refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
You can cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.
Take out Crockpot insert and let the bowl come to room temperature before heating. This will prevent the Insert from cracking from the different temperatures.

Suggestion:

Prepare your French Toast the night before and place in the refrigerator to sit.

Bring Crock Pot liner to Room Temp for 30 minutes before placing into the Base for heating.

You can then cook on high for 2 hours in the morning and have a nice brunch.

If you have a warming feature on your Crock Pot, you can cook at night for 4 hours on low then revert to warm until breakfast.

Options: Serve with Powdered Sugar or Fresh Berries.
