Tips:

Use thick-cut bread for a more substantial French toast. Brioche, French bread, or sourdough bread are all good choices.
Make sure your eggs and milk are at room temperature before you start cooking. This will help the mixture to evenly coat the bread.
Add a little bit of sugar or vanilla extract to the egg mixture for a sweeter French toast.
If you like a crispy French toast, cook it over medium heat for a few minutes per side. For a softer French toast, cook it over low heat for a few minutes per side.
Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Crispy baked French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a restaurant-quality French toast at home. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or brunch, give this recipe a try!
