Baked French Toast
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp butter, melted
- 7 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 loaves (24 oz) soft French bread*, cut into 3/4-inch slices
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 13 by 9-inch baking dish with butter.
- In shallow dish whisk together eggs with cinnamon vigorously until very well blended.
- Pour in milk, cream, sugar and vanilla extract and whisk until well blended.
- Dip slices of French bread into egg mixture letting it soak briefly (it should soak almost nearly through, it may be helpful to gently squeeze like a sponge to absorb into center and gently squeeze some of the excess out).
- Transfer slices to baking dish and align in rows. Repeat dipping and aligning process until all of the slices are used up.
- Transfer to oven and bake uncovered until cooked through about 40 to 45 minutes (it shouldn’t be soggy it should set). Note that you may need to tent with foil during the last 10 to 15 minutes if you find it’s browning too much on top depending on your oven.
- Let cool slightly then cut into squares and serve with maple syrup or other syrup or topping of choice.
