Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Bread (preferably stale or day-old, cubed)
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
- Maple syrup (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch or 9-inch square baking pan with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Place the cubed bread in the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread, ensuring all the pieces are soaked. Gently press the bread down with a spatula to help it absorb the liquid.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the soaked bread.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Allow the French Toast Bars to cool for 10 minutes before cutting into squares or bars.
Dust with powdered sugar (optional) and serve with maple syrup if desired. Enjoy!
