Creme Brulee French Toast Casserole

I have been cooking since I was 5 years old and it has always been something I love to do when I have time. In Feb. 2016, our family decided to start trying to eat better and we're doing a mostly Paleo program. I am really enjoying trying and cooking new things. If you are checking out my recipes, if I've actually made it, it's noted in the description. Otherwise, it's likely one I saw and liked and it is in my queue of things to make.

1 loaf French bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
