Mom's French Toast Casserole

• 1 tbsp vegan butter
• 2 packages of vegan breakfast sausage
• 2 peeled and thinly sliced apples
• 2 containers of Just Egg
• 2 cups of unsweetened vanilla non dairy milk
• 1 cup vegan sweetened condensed milk*
• 2/3 cup maple syrup
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 1 large loaf of Italian bread cut into 12 even slices
  

Serve hot topped with extra maple syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon!

1. Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, butter a large glass baking dish and set aside.
2. Then, dice your vegan sausage into small crumbles or bite sized pieces and slice your apples.
3. Next, to a medium sized skilled, add 1 tbsp vegan butter and place on medium heat.
4. When butter is warm and melted, add your vegan sausage and cook until it begins to brown. Then, add your sliced apples and cook until soft and tender, add more butter if mixture is too dry.
5. In a separate bowl, combine your vegan egg, non dairy milk, vegan sweetened condensed milk, maple syrup and spices. Stir until fully combined.
6. Next, add one layer of bread to the bottom of the buttered baking dish, for my loaf it was 6 pieces.
7. Then, spread all of your sausage and apple mixture evenly on top. Next add a second layer of bread slices.
8. Pour the liquid mixture evenly over the top, making sure all of the bread is soaked.
9. Then, place in the oven and bake for 1 hour.
10. Once cooked, remove from the oven, serve hot and enjoy! If you plan to have this for the next morning, you can keep fresh wrapped tightly in the fridge.
