How to Make Baked Cinnamon French Toast
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Cut bread into 1-inch cubes and gently toss them into the egg mixture, ensuring all pieces are coated. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
- Stir in brown sugar and chopped pecans (if using).
- Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Top with your favorite toppings such as powdered sugar, maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
