Description

This Baked French Toast recipe transforms classic French toast into a decadent, oven-baked breakfast dish. Brioche slices are quickly dipped in a rich egg mixture then topped with a warm buttery brown sugar sauce before baking to golden perfection. Finished with a dusting of powdered sugar and fresh mixed berries, this recipe serves 8 and makes a comforting, crowd-pleasing morning treat.

Ingredients

French Toast Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 brioche loaf, sliced

Sauce

  • ¾ cup salted butter
  • 1 ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Toppings

  • 2 Tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

  1. Whisk: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter an 8×10 inch casserole or baking dish thoroughly. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, milk, and cinnamon until fully combined.
  2. Dip: Quickly dip each brioche slice into the egg mixture. Since brioche absorbs liquid rapidly, do not soak; a quick coat is sufficient. Arrange the dipped slices neatly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Prepare Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine salted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir and melt the ingredients until the mixture is creamy and just begins to bubble, approximately 6-8 minutes. Avoid cooking too long to prevent the sauce from becoming a hard caramel.
  4. Pour Sauce: Pour the warm butter and brown sugar sauce evenly over the dipped brioche slices in the baking dish.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish uncovered on top of a cookie sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the baked French toast to cool for 10-15 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar and top with mixed berries before serving.

Notes

  • Do not soak brioche slices too long in the egg mixture to prevent sogginess; a quick dip is ideal.
  • Placing the baking dish on a cookie sheet during baking helps catch any spills caused by bubbling sauce.
  • Use fresh or frozen mixed berries according to availability for a burst of color and flavor.
