We went to a character breakfast at Disneyland in May, and it was so delicious! Easily the best food we ate while we were there.
While there were lots of delicious options, there were two things I kept getting more – chilaquiles and bananas foster french toast.
Oh man, those made the price of the breakfast worth it (well, as well as seeing Jack light up whenever a character came to our table!)
So for Forrest’s birthday a few weeks later, I thought it would be fun to make a banana’s foster french toast casserole. I was so excited to try it out, and I was even more excited that it turned out so well.
This is a great casserole to make before holidays, birthdays, or times when you want a yummy breakfast but you don’t have a ton of time in the morning. I love the subtle caramelized banana flavor!
This is really easy to make, and we all really enjoyed it. I hope you will as well!

Is it 1/2 cup milk or cup? It lists both
Katie says
There are two separate times that you use milk in this recipe. Step one is associated with 1/2 cup. Step 7 with one cup. Hope that helps!
Karyn says
Do you thinknI could cut the receipe in half and bake in a 8×8 pan for the same length of time?
Katie says
I think so, though I would start checking it earlier to make sure it doesn’t get overdone.
Elizabeth says
do you keep it covered while baking????
