How to Make Amaretto French Toast
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange 6-8 slices of French bread in a greased 13x9 inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon almond extract, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 cup amaretto.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring all slices are coated.
- Let the bread soak for 2 1/2 minutes.
- Gently flip the bread slices and let soak for another 2 1/2 minutes.
- (Optional) Cover and chill in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours for deeper flavor.
- Melt 1/4 cup butter in a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan in the preheated oven.
- Remove from oven and tilt the pan to evenly coat the bottom with melted butter.
- Carefully arrange the soaked bread slices in a single layer in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Flip the bread slices carefully.
