French Toast Custard Casserole for 1
This recipe caught my eye as another great use for _aging_ bread and because it's scaled for 1 serving. A toaster oven would be perfect for baking this little casserole.

- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Lightly coat the interior of 1 oven-proof bowl with cooking spray.(try a soup bowl with a handle or any baking dish that is about 4" across and 2" deep).
- Trim bread slices to a shape and size that will fit the bowl.
- In another larger bowl, whisk egg and milk, then place bread slices in egg mixture until liquid is absorbed.
- Combine nuts and syrup in the bottom of the ovenproof bowl, and dot the surface with the butter.
- Place the soaked bread slices on top---they should not reach past the lip of the bowl.
- Place bowl on a baking sheet to prevent drips, and place in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until top is lightly browned and center is firm.
- Remove from oven and allow to set for about 10 minutes.
- Invert bowl onto a plate, remove bowl and serve.
