Christmas morning we had company and Devin cannot have any Gluten.We thought we would test out the regular recipe with Gluten Free bread. A Gluten Free French Toast Casserole so we all could enjoy the morning.
Several years ago I shared the French Toast Casserole many of you have seen on Pinterest but you may not yet have tried it. We first had this at a friends camp last spring and then I found the recipe on Pinterest, I know what a surprise finding a recipe on Pinterest. Fat forward to 2019 and Gluten Free is here to stay.
When to Serve the Casserole
As much as I would love to tell you this is an every day breakfast, I cannot. This is one of those save for a special occasion recipes. Now do not misunderstand me, it’s not difficult not complicated just decadent.
This is the type of dish that makes the holidays special. It is the dish that will pull the children away from the Christmas Tree to come eat. Plus when made with gluten free ingredients it is a dish you can serve to everyone
Surprise the ones with celiac and gluten intolerance with a special treat. A dish they can enjoy along with everyone else.
