📝 Preparation Steps
1
Create the Streusel
2
Combine all streusel ingredients in a bowl, mixing well until they resemble wet sand-like chunks. Cover and keep in the fridge until ready to use.
3
Grease a 9x13 baking dish with butter. Place 12 cups of bread cupes in the dish.
4
Coat
5
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla until smooth. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread cubes, tossing to ensure they are well coated. If there seems to be too much liquid, add another cup of bread cubes until it is mostly absorbed. (There will be a thin layer of excess liquid at the bottom.)

Bake
9
Preheat the oven to 350F. Sprinkle the chilled streusel topping over the top of the casserole. Bake for ⏱️ 45-60 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. If it starts looking too browned at the 45-minute mark, loosely tent the baking dish with foil, and continue baking.
