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.

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.

EASY OVERNIGHT FRENCH TOAST



Easy Overnight French Toast image

This is a super-easy version of French toast that I like because it can be prepared in advance and then popped into the oven the next morning. It's great served with a mixed fruit salad on the side( which also can be prepared ahead!). Originally from the Houston Chronicle food section.Prep time does not include overnight refrigeration.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread. A sturdy bread like a French baguette or challah will hold up better to the soaking process and won't get soggy.
  • Use a shallow baking dish. This will help the French toast cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish. Give the French toast slices enough space to soak up the egg mixture.
  • Use a non-stick cooking spray on the baking dish. This will help prevent the French toast from sticking.
  • Cook the French toast on low heat. This will help prevent the French toast from burning.
  • Flip the French toast halfway through cooking. This will help ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Serve the French toast immediately. It's best when it's hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Overnight French toast is a delicious and easy breakfast recipe that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover bread, and it can be customized to your liking with different toppings and flavors. Whether you like it classic with just butter and syrup, or you prefer to load it up with fruit, nuts, and whipped cream, overnight French toast is a surefire way to start your day off right.
