This Easy Overnight French Toast is a delicious make-ahead breakfast casserole made with thick slices of bread soaked in a rich custard, then baked to golden perfection in the morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf French bread, cut into 1-inch slices
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp butter, for greasing the dish
  • Optional toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries

Instructions

  1. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
  2. Arrange bread slices in the dish, slightly overlapping.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, making sure all slices are soaked.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) the next morning.
  7. Remove dish from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes.
  8. Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use day-old bread for best results—it holds up better to soaking.
  • For a crunchier topping, sprinkle cinnamon sugar or chopped nuts before baking.
  • Can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance.
