How to Make Amaretto Raisin Oven Baked French Toast
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, amaretto, milk, vanilla extract, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Add the raisins and gently stir to combine.
- 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.
- Arrange the soaked bread slices in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are nestled together snugly.
- Pour any remaining custard mixture evenly over the bread.
- 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.
- 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.
