- Lightly mist a 9″ x 13″ x 2″ casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange bread slices in two rows, slightly overlapping pieces. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and sucanat. Pour mixture over bread, making sure all bread is moist. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
