Make-Ahead French Toast Recipe

RecipesNovember 12, 2020

We don’t share a lot of recipes around here because honeslty I’m not that big on cooking. However, when I find something really good I do like to share. This make-ahead french toast recipe is a great one because it can be prepared the night before and simply popped into the oven in the morning. It’s especially useful for a holiday breakfast or brunch.

It could also be used for a busy weeknight dinner if you like to have breakfast for dinner on occasion. Make it in the morning before work or the night before. I especially love breakfast for dinner on a rainy day!

You can use any loaf of bread that you prefer for this one, but we use challah bread. It’s the perfect size and texture for french toast. If you have trouble locating it, try the kosher section of your supermarket. Or check out this recipe to make your own challah bread.

Make-ahead french toast is really easy to prepare too! First, you simply mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl. I usually mix the eggs and spices first to get those well blended.

Next, grease a casserole or a baking dish with butter. Be generous with the butter to avoid sticking. Lay your bread slices in the pan, do not overlap. For one loaf of the bread, I used two baking dishes.

After that, pour your egg mixture over the bread. It will pool up in the bottom of the dish, that is what you want. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

The next day you can bake it at 350 degrees for approximately 45 minutes. I add extra cinnamon and powdered sugar to mine because I like things sweet!
