How to Make Simple Baked French Toast

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and brown sugar until well combined.
Cut bread into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange slices in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all slices are soaked.
Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 2 hours).
In the morning, remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Top with fresh berries, whipped cream, or maple syrup (optional).
