How to Make Better Baked French Toast

  1. Preheat oven to 325-350°F (160-180°C).
  2. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with 1 tablespoon of margarine.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup soy milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Arrange 6-8 slices of your favorite bread (challah, brioche, or Texas toast work well) in the prepared baking pan, overlapping slightly if necessary.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all slices are fully coated. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.
  6. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and a pinch of ground cloves.
  7. Place the baking pan on the middle oven rack and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
  8. Serve immediately, topped with a generous serving of mixed berries and a dusting of powdered sugar.
