Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Thick-sliced bread (Brioche or Challah recommended)
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.3 cups Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing pan)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cups Maple syrup (for serving)
- 1 cup Fresh berries (optional, for garnishing)
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.
Lay the slices of bread in the greased baking dish, slightly overlapping them to fit. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the slices of bread, ensuring every piece is soaked. If needed, press the bread down gently with a spatula to help absorb the liquid.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, so the bread can soak up all the custard mixture.
When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes while the oven preheats.
Bake the French toast uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set but still slightly custardy.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool slightly, about 5-10 minutes.
Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top (if using) and serve warm with maple syrup and fresh berries for garnish.
