How to Make Baked Cinnamon Maple Frenchtoast
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Arrange 10-12 slices of challah, brioche, or Texas toast in a greased 13x9 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup maple syrup, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Pour the custard evenly over the bread slices, ensuring all pieces are soaked.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- In the morning, remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Bake, uncovered, for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is set, golden brown, and the center is cooked through. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with a pat of butter and extra warmed maple syrup.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
