How to Make Baked French Toast
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Arrange 1 loaf (about 1 pound) of challah bread, cut into 1-inch thick slices, in the prepared baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 2 cups whole milk, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring all slices are moistened. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
- In a small saucepan, combine 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/4 cup light corn syrup.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved and bubbling slightly. Remove from heat.
- Pour the butter mixture evenly over the bread and egg mixture in the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
