Baked French Toast

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time25 minutes
Servings: 6 -8

Ingredients

  • 1 c Milk
  • 1 c Heavy cream
  • 4 lg Eggs
  • 1/2 c Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 30 1" Slices of Long Roll approximately
  • 8 tbsp Butter melted

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, beat together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt.
  • Spread melted butter onto a large sheet pan that has at least a 1/2 lip around the edge. (I use a 16"x 22" sheet pan)
  • Dip roll slices into the mixture, allowing mixture to soak slightly. Then line them along the buttered sheet pan. Repeat the dipping process with the remaining slices. Sprinkle the tops with a little more cinnamon, if desired.
  • In a preheated oven, bake at 425°F for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and flip each piece over. Cook 10-15 minutes more.
  • Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fruit or whipped cream.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Substitutions:
  • Long Rolls- The batter for this recipe is perfect for dipping almost any kind of roll. You can easily substitute with baguette, sliced French or Italian rolls. Make sure slices are at least 1" in thickness. 
  • Heavy Cream- This can be substituted with half and half. However, if using half and half, I recommend replacing both the heavy cream and milk with it. Therefore, using 2 cups of half and half in lieu of both the milk and heavy cream.
Notes:
This can be prepped the night before. Simply prepare everything as if you are going to bake but then cover the pan and place in the refrigerator. Bake the following day. I recommend baking within 24 hours of preparing.
Storage:
This stores well in an airtight container or ziplock bag in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
