Print Recipe

This French Toast Bake is a comforting and easy-to-make breakfast casserole featuring a rich custard-soaked bread baked to golden perfection. Perfect for feeding a crowd or prepping ahead for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 cups day-old bread cubes (such as brioche or challah)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Maple syrup, for serving (optional)
  • Powdered sugar, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
  2. Place the bread cubes evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
  4. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing down gently to ensure all pieces soak up the liquid.
  5. Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the casserole.
  6. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, add fresh berries or chopped nuts on top before baking, or serve with a dollop of whipped cream for a decadent touch.
