Baked French Toast is a delightful and easy breakfast treat that combines the comforting flavors of French bread with creamy custard, perfect for feeding a crowd.

Ingredients

Scale

1 (1 pound) loaf French bread

cut diagonally in 1 inch slices

8 large eggs

2 cups milk

1 ½ cups half-and-half cream

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¾ cup butter

1 ⅓ cups brown sugar

3 tablespoons light corn syrup

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a large baking dish with butter.
Arrange the sliced French bread in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, half-and-half cream, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices, pressing down gently to ensure all the bread is soaked.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and mix in the brown sugar and corn syrup until smooth.
Pour the butter mixture over the bread, spreading it evenly.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for best results.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, removing the foil during the last 10 minutes to allow the top to brown.
Once baked, allow to cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

Notes

For added flavor, feel free to add toppings like fruits, syrup, or powdered sugar when serving.
