French Toast Bake
Probably the best breakfast in the whole world. Delicious, sweet, and oh so perfect!
Ingredients
Base
- 1 Stick Butter
- 1 Cup Brown Sugar
Custard
- 4 Eggs
- 1 Cup Milk
- 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
- 1 Tbsp Vanilla
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp Nutmeg
Bread and Topping
- 1 Loaf Texas Toast
- 2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- For the base, melt the cube of butter in a bowl. Mix the brown sugar in until it is evenly incorporated. Spread evenly on the bottom of a greased 9×13 baking dish. Cut each slice of bread into small cubes. Each slice usually gets me about 9 cubes. Place half of the bread cubes on top of the base in the baking sheet.
- In a mixing bowl, completely mix all of the ingredients of the custard together. Pour half of the custard mixture on the bread cubes that are already in the baking dish. Place the rest of the bread cubes on top. Pour the rest of the custard mixture on top of the bread cubes. Try your best to get at least some custard on each bread cube.
- For the topping, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle evenly over the bread cubes. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 2-4 hours.
- Preheat your oven or pellet grill to 350 degrees. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and let bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Lightly sprinkle powdered sugar over the dish. Serve with fresh fruit and a light serving of maple syrup. Enjoy!
