OVERNIGHT FRENCH TOAST



Overnight French Toast image

If you have a crowd for breakfast, overnight French toast is a winning idea. Instead of standing over the stove, cooking slice after slice, it bakes in the oven and emerges puffed and golden and ready for a big glug of maple syrup. Try making it with a stale loaf that you forgot to eat amid all the other holiday goodies. A fat brioche, fruit-filled panettone or a braided challah all work well. Stay away from croissants, though: Their chewy interiors are best enjoyed fresh.

Categories     breakfast, breads, custards and puddings, main course

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for baking dish
1 pound enriched bread, such as brioche, challah or panettone sliced 3/4-inch thick
1/4 cup golden raisins (optional)
6 large eggs
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup pecans, chopped (optional)
Confectioners' sugar for dusting (optional)
Maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Butter a 2-quart baking dish. Butter the front sides of the slices of bread and shingle the slices upright in the dish, overlapping as necessary. Nestle the raisins evenly between the slices of bread but not on top.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and salt until well combined. Pour the milk mixture over the bread and press the bread gently to absorb. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Remove the plastic wrap. Sprinkle the pecans evenly over the top. Bake until puffed, golden and set in the center, 50 to 60 minutes. While baking, if the top begins to get too dark, tent with foil. Let stand 10 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve with maple syrup.

BETHIE'S BAKED FRENCH TOAST



Bethie's Baked French Toast image

Well.... it is my humble opinion that the baked french toast recipes that sit overnight are soggy & mushy. So I tried this. Then added some stuff. And crossed my fingers. The topping idea I hijacked from another recipe online then adjusted to my personal taste. I do hope you enjoy; my family swooned so I came running here to post. ;) I think you could add any dried fruit or even fresh fruit - apples, pears, bananas - cut up into bite sized pieces. I think adding orange zest to the topping might be yummy, too. Go ahead...make it your own!

Provided by Elmotoo

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 loaf challah
vegetable cooking spray
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup shredded coconut
10 large eggs
2 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup cream
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 -2 tablespoon sugar (or vanilla sugar!)
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup sliced almonds
maple syrup

Steps:

  • The night before, thickly slice the bread & lay out on a cooling rack.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spray a 9x13 pan well. Tear up the dried bread slices into bite sized pieces into the pan. Sprinkle with raisins & coconut.
  • In an 8c measuring bowl, whisk eggs. Add milk & cream (you can use whatever combination of dairy you want. I have skim milk in the fridge so I added some cream. If I had whole milk, I would have used that & skipped the cream). Add sugar, vanilla, cinnamon & whisk thoroughly. Carefully pour over the bread. With a spatula or your (clean) hands, carefully push down to make sure it's all wet. Let sit 15 minutes or so.
  • For the topping:.
  • In a small bowl, combine butter, brown sugar & cinnamon. I mushied it all up thoroughly with my hands. Spread on top of the french toast mixture. It doesn't spread very easily; I used my hands. Sprinkle almonds on top. I sprinkled almonds on only 1/2 because dd doesn't care for nuts. ;).
  • You may want to consider putting a cookie sheet under the baking dish in case there are any spills. Bake in preheated oven 50 minutes or until toasty on top & set. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving. Pour just a little warmed pure maple syrup on top.
  • Enjoy. :).

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread for French toast, such as brioche or challah. This will give your toast a richer flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the egg mixture. Overmixing will make the toast tough.
  • Soak the bread in the egg mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the bread to absorb the egg mixture and cook evenly.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat. This will help to prevent the toast from burning.
  • Flip the French toast only once. Flipping it too often will make the toast dry.
  • Serve the French toast with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

French toast is a classic breakfast food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. There are many different ways to make French toast, so you can find a recipe that suits your taste.
