Baked Cinnamon Sugar French Toast
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of sliced brioche bread
- 6 eggs
- 2 cups of whole milk
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
- 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1/4 cup of light brown sugar divided
Instructions
- In a big mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and salt. Give it a good whisk until everything is mixed together.
- Take a slice of brioche bread and spread just under a tablespoon of butter on top. Sprinkle a couple of teaspoons of brown sugar over it, enough to cover the slice. Repeat this with the rest of the bread slices. Arrange them in a round baking dish.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bread slices.
- Cover the dish and let it chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours or overnight.
- Bake it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35-40 minutes or until the top turns a beautiful golden brown.
- Once out of the oven, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top and/or drizzle with maple syrup.
