Ingredients

• 8 slices Thick-sliced bread (such as brioche or challah)
• 6 large Eggs
• 2 cups Milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for greasing and drizzle)
• 0 to taste Maple syrup or powdered sugar (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.

Step 2

Arrange the bread slices in a single layer in the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping if needed.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring all pieces are thoroughly soaked. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to gently press the bread into the mixture if necessary.

Step 5

Let the bread sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb the custard. Meanwhile, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and drizzle it over the top of the soaked bread.

Step 6

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.

Step 7

Remove the baked French toast from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
