What is baked French toast?

My family loves French toast, but if you are standing at a skillet making French toast a few pieces at a time, it is hard for everyone to eat at once. The solution? Baked French toast! All of the French toast is ready at one time, and everyone can enjoy the meal together. Just dip the bread in an egg and milk mixture, then place in a pan coated with cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter before baking. All of the French toast is perfectly baked and ready to eat at the same time! You won’t even need any syrup!

Baked Cinnamon French Toast Ingredients

Sugar: You will need ⅔ cups of brown sugar for this recipe to create a nice sweet and caramelized taste.

Butter: Use ½ cup (one stick) of melted butter for added richness and flavor.

Cinnamon: You will need to use 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon so that there is plenty of warm spice in every slice.

Eggs: To make plenty of the egg mixture, you will need 6 large eggs that have been lightly beaten.

Milk: Stretch the egg mixture to coat all of the bread by adding in 1 ¾ cups of milk.

Bread: You will want to use 1 large loaf of French bread that has been cut into 1-inch sized slices. Day-old bread works great for this as well.

How to make Baked Cinnamon French Toast

Prep

Start by preheating the oven to 350°. Then, grease a large baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Then, in a small bowl combine the brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon. Pour this mixture into the baking pan and evenly distribute it around the pan, set it aside.

Also, slice the French bread loaf into 1″ slices.

Assemble

Next, combine the eggs and milk in a shallow dish (I used a 9X13 pan) and place the sliced bread in the egg mixture. Let the bread sit for 2-3 minutes and then flip over and soak for another 2-3 minutes.

Bake

Proceed to transfer the egg-soaked bread into the cinnamon mixture pan. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.

Serve immediately with the brown sugar side on top, enjoy!

How long is leftover baked french toast good for?

You can keep your leftover baked french toast stored in the fridge in an airtight or well covered container for up to 3 or 4 days. While it will taste delicious chilled, you can also reheat it in the microwave for about 1 minute before serving if you want to eat it warm!

What type of bread to use in french toast?

This recipe works best with french bread, but you can use regular sandwich bread if you prefer. French bread works best if it is sliced in 1″ slices…that’s a little bit thicker than normal bread, but works so well for french toast. Sometimes I like to use brioche bread instead, it’s so soft and sweet!
