- Nutmeg: I don’t know about you, but I love cinnamon and nutmeg together. Only add a dash because it can be an overpowering flavor.
How to Store Baked French Toast Casserole
If you make this Baked French Toast Casserole and find that you have leftovers, you can store the leftovers for another day. Store the baked french toast casserole in an airtight container or wrap the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap in the refrigerator. Keeping the air away from the casserole ensures that it stays fresh longer. With a sweet cinnamon roll baked french toast casserole like this one, you want to eat every single piece.
How to Reheat Oven French Toast
If you stored the leftover of the casserole in the same dish it was baked in, you can slide the entire dish back into the oven to reheat. Be careful when reheating the french toast in the oven. You want to make sure to only heat it through. If you overheat it, it will become too dry. Another way to reheat it is in the microwave. This is good for reheating single servings.
How Long Does Cinnamon Roll Casserole
When you store the cinnamon roll casserole in the refrigerator it will stay fresh for up to 4 days. If the casserole is not covered well, it will dry out sooner and will not taste as good.
Can Oven French Toast Casserole be made in a Slow Cooker
You can easily turn this recipe into a slow cooker recipe. Combine all of the ingredients together in the same way you do for the oven casserole. Instead of baking the casserole in the oven, you will add it to the slow cooker. The cooking time in a slow cooker is 2 hours on high or 4-6 hours on low. This is a great idea if you want to wake up to this breakfast. Believe me, your house will smell amazing.
To make it easier to clean up in the slow cooker, use slow cooker liners. It makes clean up a breeze.
