A Delightful Morning Treat - Homemade Baked French Toast

Every year, on the first weekend in December, our daughter Jamie and the boys come over to help us decorate for Christmas. It's time to rearrange the furniture, get the Christmas tree out of the basement, put it up, and decorate it.

Every year, Fran likes to have a nice breakfast for this festive activity. Normally it's just eggs, bacon, sausage, and some fresh muffins. This year Fran added this delightful homemade baked French toast.

In my post today, I will guide you through how Fran created this sweet, mouthwatering comfort dish of baked French toast.

Ingredients: For Homemade Baked French Toast

1 loaf of French bread

7 to 8 large eggs

1 cup of milk

1/2 cup heavy cream or (half and half)

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup butter melted

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon of salt

Powdered sugar, cinnamon, and brown sugar for the top after baking. 

Directions:

  1. Cut the French bread into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Melt the butter, and mix with the brown sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Pour the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
  4. Add the cut cubes of French bread into the baking dish and spread evenly.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until all is well combined.
  6. Pour the mixture over the French bread, cover, and refrigerate for one or two hours.
  7. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes until it's golden brown and set in the center.
  8. Sprinkle the powdered sugar, cinnamon, and brown sugar over the top while it's hot right out of the oven.
Serve warm with butter, and maple syrup. We had fresh-cut strawberries and whipped cream for some added treats on top of our baked French toast.

You don't have to wait for the holidays to enjoy this delightful baked French toast. Whether you're hosting a brunch or just treating yourself to a wonderful morning breakfast anytime.
