How to Make Overnight French Toast
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Slice a loaf of French bread (about 1 pound) into 20 slices, approximately 1-inch thick.
- Generously butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Arrange the bread slices in the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them in two layers.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the following ingredients until well combined:
- * 6 large eggs
- * 2 cups half-and-half
- * 1 cup whole milk
- * 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- * 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- * 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- * 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Gently pour the custard mixture over the bread slices, ensuring all slices are evenly moistened. Spoon some extra custard in between the slices.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
- The next morning, remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the French toast is golden brown and the custard is set. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with butter and hot maple syrup.
