Next, in a huge blending bowl, blend collectively 8 huge eggs (yes, masses of eggs!), 2% milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and brown sugar. Then pour the combination onto the casserole.
Top with sliced strawberries, blueberries, or different berries you like!
Cover casserole with a saran wrap, then refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or as a lot as overnight. We are letting the bread take in the egg combination throughout this time.
Then (typically it's the subsequent morning for me in my pajamas) bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes. I examine on the 35 minute mark, and bake for longer if needed.
