St. Patrick's Day is tomorrow, and I know quite a few of you may be celebrating all things green tonight. So I am giving you all an Irish Cream spiked french toast casserole that you can put together before you head out the door for the evening. You just have to wake up tomorrow morning, preheat the oven, and then pop it in the oven. No matter how much tonight hurts tomorrow morning, you all could manage that much, right? ;)
What you will need:
4 eggs, beaten
1 14 oz can of coconut milk
1 cup of strongly brewed coffee
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup Bailey's Irish Cream
1 tsp vanilla
1 shot of Irish whiskey (I used Jameson. This is optional, but it isn't truly Irish coffee unless there is a little whiskey in it, right? ;))
About 8 slices of day old French or Italian bread (would also be great with Irish soda bread if you happen to have some of that lying around ;) )
Spray a 13x9 inch baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat your 4 eggs. Whisk in the coconut milk until well incorporated.
Add in the rest of the ingredients- the coffee through the whiskey- and continue whisking.
Slice your day old bread into 8 thick slices. Arrange the bread slices in a double layer in your prepared baking pan.
Now pour your egg/coconut milk/coffee mixture over top of the layered bread slices. Using the back of a wooden spoon, press the down the bread slices into the liquid to make sure each layer is absorbing it.
Cover tightly with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator overnight.
The next morning just preheat your oven to 350 degrees, take your french toast casserole out of the fridge, and bake for 40-45 minutes. It should be somewhat set in the middle and the edges should be crispy and golden when done.
I served my Irish Coffee French Toast casserole with a simple sprinkling of powdered sugar. Fresh whipped cream would also be wonderful with this.

ReplyDeleteThis sounds amazing...I am going to have to try this with my left over caramel Irish cream. My son is a student at Ohio State University and he talks about a bar in Columbus that serves Southern Comfort syrup with their pancakes...I will have to figure out how to get the Irish Cream into my syrup...Wow that sounds so good right now!!! Thanks for hosting the Spiked Challenge!
ReplyDeleteI bet this would be amazing with the Caramel Bailey's! :)
DeleteDo you know what bar it is? I used to live in Columbus- lived there for almost 8 years, in fact!
