Ingredients for Amaretto Raisin Oven Baked French Toast

  • French Bread
  • Butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Almond Extract
  • 1/2 cup amaretto liqueur
  • Golden Raisin
  • Half And Half

How to Make Amaretto Raisin Oven Baked French Toast

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, amaretto, milk, vanilla extract, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Add the raisins and gently stir to combine.
  4. Dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Let the bread soak for a few seconds before placing in the dish.
  5. Arrange the soaked bread slices in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are nestled together snugly.
  6. Pour any remaining custard mixture evenly over the bread.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the French toast is golden brown and cooked through. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  8. Let the French toast cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar (optional). Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, maple syrup, or a dollop of vanilla ice cream.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
