An indulgent French toast dish that’s easy to prepare, perfect for brunch or family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf of day-old bread (like brioche or challah)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups of milk
  • ½ cup of sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon of salt
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, maple syrup, powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Whisk until everything is well blended.
  3. Tear the bread into bite-sized pieces and toss them into the egg mixture. Gently stir to ensure each piece is nicely coated.
  4. Pour the bread mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
  5. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, though overnight is ideal.
  6. Before baking, remove from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the custard has set.
  8. Serve warm, topped with your choice of fresh berries, maple syrup, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Notes

Use day-old bread for the best texture, refrigerate overnight for enhanced flavor, and cover with foil if browning too quickly during baking.
