Baked French Toast Ingredients

Method

Baked French Toast Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the French bread into thick slices, about 1 inch each.

  2. 2

    Make the Egg Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar until well combined.

  3. 3

    Soak the Bread

    Arrange the bread slices in a greased baking dish and pour the egg mixture over the bread, ensuring all slices are well coated. Let it soak for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator for best results.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Dot the top with butter and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm with maple syrup and fresh berries as toppings.
