How to Make Baked French Toast Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. Cut bread into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange bread slices in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all slices are soaked. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes, to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
  5. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the soaked bread.
  6. Melt butter and drizzle it over the brown sugar.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until golden brown and set. If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
  8. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Top with your favorite toppings like powdered sugar, maple syrup, whipped cream, or berries.
