How to Make Night Before Christmas French Toast
- Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
- In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) margarine over medium heat. Stir in 1/2 cup packed brown sugar until melted and combined.
- Pour the brown sugar mixture into the prepared baking pan.
- Arrange 1 pound of challah bread, cut into 1-inch thick slices, on top of the brown sugar mixture in the pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup milk (whole milk recommended), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring all slices are soaked.
- Cover the baking pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Check for doneness after 25 minutes. If browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with your favorite syrup (maple syrup recommended), whipped cream, and fresh fruit (berries are a great choice!). For extra richness, use whole milk and add 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine to the brown sugar mixture (step 2).
