14 oz can sweetened condensed milk, caramel flavor if available
03 -
4 eggs
04 -
1 cup milk
05 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
06 -
1 cup Kraft Caramel Bits or similar

2 tablespoons heavy cream

8 oz crème fraîche (optional)
# Steps:
01 -
Cut bread into 2 to 3-inch cubes.
02 -
Spray the slow cooker with non-stick spray and press the bread cubes into the bottom, compressing as much as possible.
03 -
Pour condensed milk evenly over the bread.
04 -
Whisk together eggs, milk, and salt. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread.
05 -
Cover and cook on high for 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

Melt caramel bits and heavy cream in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
07 -
Slice and serve French toast casserole topped with crème fraîche and melted caramel or as desired.
# Notes:
01 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave in 30-second bursts or warm in the oven at 300°F for 10-15 minutes.
02 -
Toast the bread lightly or let it sit out overnight before assembling to prevent sogginess.
03 -
Mix liquid ingredients the night before to save time. Refrigerate overnight and combine with bread before cooking.
04 -
For easier cleanup, line the slow cooker with parchment paper or spray it with nonstick spray.
05 -
Both casserole-style and regular slow cookers can be used. Casserole-style slow cookers cook slightly faster due to a shallower depth.
