1 Teaspoon Salt

⅓ Cup All-Purpose Flour

Instructions

French Toast Casserole

Cut the bread into cubes and place in a 9x13 baking dish that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. (I used a blender)
Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes and stir to completely saturate the bread.

Streusel Topping

Mix together the flour, brown sugar, salt, and cold butter with a pastry blender or fork until coarse crumbs form. (I used a small food processor.)
Sprinkle the streusel over the top of the casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes until golden brown and there is no more liquid.

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Syrup

While the casserole is baking, whisk together the softened cream cheese, milk, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth.
Drizzle a little bit of syrup over the baked casserole and serve with the remaining syrup.
