Baked French Toast Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Mkhs1974 / All my dishes 2 years, 2 months ago The beauty of this recipe is that it's baked, not cooked on the stovetop, and you can put everything together the night before.

Ingredients

1 (13- to 14-inch-long) loaf soft supermarket Italian bread

1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened

3 large eggs

1 2/3 cups whole milk

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons sugar

Cinnamon - hint

Nutmeg - whisper

Vanilla - splash

Accompaniment: Maple syrup

Directions

Butter a 13-by-9-inch glass baking dish. Cut twelve 1-inch-thick diagonal slices from bread (reserve ends for another use).

Generously butter one side of each slice and arrange slices buttered sides up in one layer in buttered dish, squeezing them slightly to fit if necessary.

Whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and salt in a bowl until well combined, then pour evenly over bread. Refrigerate, covered, until bread has absorbed all of custard, at least 1 hour (time may vary depending on bread).

Bring soaked bread to room temperature. Put a rack in middle of oven and preheat oven to 425° F. Sprinkle bread with sugar. Bake until bread is puffed and top is golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately, with maple syrup.

Cook's Note: The soaked bread can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking.

Yum! I am going to try this! I once tried the overnight french toast recipe I found and it was nasty! My husband told me I didn't have to make that very often! :) I'll try yours. Thanks!

This sounds like the perfect answer for overnight guests on the weekends. I am definitely not a morning person, so I won't have to think too much while I'm having my coffee. Thanks a bunch!
