Gluten-Free French Toast Casserole

This gluten-free French toast casserole is perfect for a festive Fourth of July brunch with friends and family. It’s a delicious twist on a classic, prepared in a casserole dish to easily feed a crowd. Taking just 10 minutes to prep and 40 minutes to bake, it’s a low-fuss recipe that leaves plenty of time for socializing. Gluten-free bread makes it inclusive for guests with dietary restrictions, while the yogurt adds a touch of protein to keep everyone satisfied. The real star of the show is the festive presentation – a crumble topping mixed with cinnamon and sugar creates a golden-brown crust, and fresh berries add pops of red and blue. Finally, a creamy homemade glaze made with maple syrup and cream cheese ties the whole dish together, making it a showstopper for your Independence Day celebration.
