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.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
