How to Make Oven Baked French Toast

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Arrange 8-10 slices of bread in a single layer in the prepared pan.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, skim milk, vanilla extract, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  4. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring all pieces are coated. Gently press down on the bread to help it absorb the liquid and prevent it from floating. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.
  5. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the center reaches 160°F (71°C) and the top is golden brown and set. If browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil for the last 15-20 minutes.
  6. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy warm, with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream!
