How to Make Baked Cinnamon Maple Frenchtoast

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Arrange 10-12 slices of challah, brioche, or Texas toast in a greased 13x9 inch baking dish.
  3. 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.
  4. Pour the custard evenly over the bread slices, ensuring all pieces are soaked.
  5. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  6. In the morning, remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  7. 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.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve warm with a pat of butter and extra warmed maple syrup.
