How to Make Yummy Baked French Toast

Baked French Toast. This was my first try at a baked French toast, and it was YUMMY! As with most recipes, I scaled it down for my small family. I halved the recipe, added an extra egg and a little extra splash of milk, used whole grain bread (crusts on, cut into large cubes), and tossed the bread in the egg-milk mixture, rather than pouring it over.

Pour over bread slices, cover, and refrigerate overnight. For the French toast: Grease the baking pan with butter. Tear the bread into chunks, or cut into cubes, and evenly distribute in the pan. You can have Baked French Toast using 12 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you achieve it.
